Changelog Maintenance

Core Question

How should the changelog be updated to reflect observed changes in the project’s existing format without inventing unsupported release information?

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• add or update CHANGELOG.md entries,
• maintain an Unreleased section,
• promote Unreleased to a version section,
• validate changelog completeness,
• categorize changes as added, changed, fixed, deprecated, removed, security, or breaking.

When Not To Use

Do not use this skill to draft polished release announcements, decide or edit versions, create tags, publish releases, push files, or create commits.
