Changelog Maintenance

Use this skill to keep changelogs accurate, readable, and worth maintaining over time. Favor concise versioned history over marketing copy, and make sure every entry reflects meaningful completed work.

Use This Skill When

  • Creating a new CHANGELOG.md for a versioned repository
  • Updating an existing changelog for a release or an Unreleased section
  • Reviewing weak, vague, or noisy changelog entries
  • Converting raw change lists, tickets, PR summaries, or commit groups into changelog entries
  • Deciding what belongs in the changelog versus release notes, internal notes, or implementation detail

Out Of Scope

  • Generating full marketing release announcements, blog posts, or app-store copy
  • Acting as a git-history parser by default when the user did not provide commits, diffs, or completed work items
  • Documenting every internal refactor, test tweak, typo fix, or dependency bump unless it materially affects users, maintainers, or integrators
