Changelog Writer Skill

Raw commit logs are written for the author; a changelog is written for the user. This skill turns a pile of commits/PRs/changes into a clean release entry — grouped by type, in plain user-facing language, with breaking changes and upgrade steps surfaced first so nobody gets surprised.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The changes — commit messages, PR titles, or a bullet list of what changed.
• Version & date — the release number (or help pick per semver) and date.
• Audience — end users, API consumers, library developers (sets the voice).
• Conventions (optional) — Keep a Changelog, an existing style, links to issues/PRs.

Output Format
