Auto-generates CHANGELOG.md entries from git history using Keep a Changelog format. Analyzes commits since last recorded entry, filters noise, reviews diffs, and groups changes into Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed sections.
What this skill does
# Changelog Skill Generate CHANGELOG.md entries from git history using [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/) format. ## Capabilities - Read existing CHANGELOG.md and detect where to insert new entries - Analyze git history since last recorded commit - Filter out noise commits (changelog-only, config-only changes) - Review actual diffs to write accurate, user-facing descriptions - Group changes into standard sections: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed ## Usage This skill activates when: - User asks to "update the changelog" - User asks to "generate changelog entries" - User wants to "add recent changes to CHANGELOG.md" - User mentions "changelog" in context of git history ## Approach ### Step 1: Read Current State Read `CHANGELOG.md` in the project root. Extract the last recorded commit hash from the first `## ... \`hash\`` header line. - If CHANGELOG.md does not exist, create one with a title and description header - If no hash is found in any header, fall back to the repository's initial commit ### Step 2: Get New Commits Run: ```bash git log <LAST_HASH>..HEAD --format="%h %s" --reverse ``` If there are no new commits, inform the user and stop. ### Step 3: Filter Noise Commits Skip commits that ONLY touch: - `CHANGELOG.md` - `CLAUDE.md` or `.claude/` files - `.gitignore` - Dev config files (editor settings, linter configs) with no functional code changes ### Step 4: Review Diffs For each remaining commit, review the actual diff: ```bash git diff <HASH>^..<HASH> ``` Diffs are the source of truth — do not rely solely on commit messages. ### Step 5: Group and Write Entries Group changes into sections (omit empty ones): - **Added** — New features or capabilities - **Changed** — Modifications to existing functionality - **Fixed** — Bug fixes - **Removed** — Removed features or capabilities Merge related commits into single bullets. Write concise, user-facing descriptions. Reference the git hash each entry covers through. ### Step 6: Format Header Use the author date of HEAD: ```bash git log -1 HEAD --format="%h %ai" ``` Header format: ``` ## YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss `SHORT_HASH` ``` ### Step 7: Insert Entry Insert the new entry after the CHANGELOG.md header block (title + description paragraph), before the first existing `##` entry. ### Step 8: Report Tell the user what was added. Do NOT commit the changes — leave that to the user. ## Output Format The generated CHANGELOG.md entry follows this structure: ```markdown ## 2026-03-16 14:30:00 `abc1234` ### Added - New feature description (`def5678`) ### Changed - Modified behavior description (`abc1234`) ### Fixed - Bug fix description (`789abcd`) ``` ## Notes - Each entry references the git hash it covers through - Description paragraph in CHANGELOG.md: "Maintained with the help of AI tooling. Each entry references the git hash it covers through." - Keep bullets concise and user-facing — avoid implementation details - When multiple commits relate to the same feature, merge them into one bullet
