    Example session with this skill installed

    Generate a full release package for range v1.3.0..HEAD (current version 1.3.0). Classify this git log, flag breaking changes with migration hints, suggest the next semver, and give a READY / READY-WITH-NOTES / NEEDS-REVIEW verdict.

    2. Changelog (Keep-a-Changelog)

    Added

    • Dark mode toggle.

    Changed

    • BREAKING: Auth endpoint /auth/login response shape changed.

    Fixed

    • Resolved a crash on empty cart.
    • Handled null coupon codes at checkout.

    3. Release Notes (human-friendly)

    Dark mode is here — plus a cleaner, more reliable checkout.

    Highlights

    • You can now switch the whole app to dark mode with a single toggle.
    • Checkout is more robust: empty carts no longer crash; missing coupon codes are handled safely.

    Breaking change for API consumers
    /auth/login now returns { token, expiresIn } instead of { token }.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Manually drafting changelogs from raw git logs is tedious and easy to get wrong. Maintainers often miss breaking changes, mix technical noise with user-facing notes, and guess at the next semver bump.

    What it does

    • Classifies commits into Keep-a-Changelog sections (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security)
    • Detects breaking changes and drafts migration hints
    • Suggests the next semver bump (major / minor / patch) from commit intent
    • Produces a release readiness checklist with a READY / READY-WITH-NOTES / NEEDS-REVIEW verdict
    • Outputs a full package: technical changelog, human-friendly release notes, and CI-ready JSON

    Frameworks & tools

    Works with any Git-based project. Best with Conventional Commits; unstructured history is handled with best-effort classification. Accepts a commit range, pasted git log, or PR titles. Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, and other SKILL.md agents.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Built-in rules flag WIP/HACK/DRAFT commits, apply hard readiness gates, keep noise (chore/test/ci) out of user notes, and enforce a consistent JSON schema for downstream use — so every release package looks the same.

    Use cases

    • Draft GitHub/GitLab release descriptions from a tag range
    • Spot breaking changes and migration paths before merge or ship
    • Produce weekly change summaries for product stakeholders
    • Suggest the next version number (and export JSON) for human- or CI-driven releases

    Known limitations

    Strictly read-only — does not push, tag, commit, merge, checkout, or publish. Single-package focus; not for complex monorepo orchestration. Cannot verify tests, docs updates, or rollback plans (those stay needs-manual-check). Semver is a suggestion only; a human or your CI must apply the bump. Best results with Conventional Commits; unstructured history is best-effort.
