Changelog Skill
Maintain CHANGELOG.md files in a consistent, user-friendly format that tracks project evolution without relying on git logs. Helps add entries under the correct type, run release workflows, and avoid common anti-patterns.
Intent Router
Load the relevant reference file when you need depth on a specific domain.
| Topic | File | Load when... |
|---|---|---|
| Format spec & entry types | references/cheatsheet.md |
Unsure about entry types, section headers, or version format |
| Tools (git-cliff install) | references/install-and-setup.md |
User wants optional tooling or help installing git-cliff |
| Release automation | references/advanced-usage.md |
Integrating changelog into CI/CD, automating generation, mono-repos |
| Common mistakes & fixes | references/troubleshooting.md |
Entries are vague, git log is being used as a changelog, validation issues |
