Changelog from Commits (Live)

Users don't read commit messages, and they shouldn't have to. In Claude Cowork this skill reads the real commit range and turns it into a changelog written for the people who use the software — grouped, deduped, and translated from "refactor: extract helper" into what actually changed for them.

What This Skill Produces

• The changelog — grouped into Added / Changed / Fixed / Breaking, each entry written as user-facing benefit, not commit-speak
• The breaking-change callout — migrations and removals pulled to the top with what to do
• A changelog artifact — Keep-a-Changelog style, ready to paste into CHANGELOG.md or a release

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• The range — from tag/ref to tag/ref (default: last tag → HEAD), and the repo
• The audience — end users, API consumers, or developers — translation depth follows
• Version & date — the release number and date for the heading
