Overview
A skill for automating changelog generation and release notes from commits, PRs, and releases, following the Keep a Changelog format and semantic versioning. Use it when setting up automated release workflows or standardizing commit conventions. Skip it if the project has no release process or reliable commit history.
What it does
This skill covers patterns and tools for automating changelog generation, release notes, and version management following industry standards, specifically the Keep a Changelog format. It works from commits, pull requests, and releases, and covers standardizing commit message conventions and managing semantic versioning.
The instructions are: select a changelog format and versioning strategy, enforce commit conventions or labeling rules, configure tooling to generate and publish notes, and review the output for accuracy, completeness, and wording. For detailed patterns, templates, and examples, it points to a separate resource file, resources/implementation-playbook.md, which is not included in this description.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when setting up automated changelog generation, implementing conventional commits, creating release note workflows, standardizing commit message formats, or managing semantic versioning.
Do not use it when the project has no release process or versioning, when you only need a one-time manual release note, or when commit history is unavailable or unreliable.
Inputs and outputs
Inputs are the project's commit history, pull requests, and release events, plus a chosen changelog format and versioning strategy. Outputs are generated and published changelog entries and release notes.
Who it's for
It is for maintainers and release engineers setting up or standardizing how a project documents its changes across commits, PRs, and releases.
