Automated Changelog & Release Notes Engine

Transform messy git history into professional, structured changelogs. Changelog Generator Pro parses Conventional Commits to automatically categorize changes, detect breaking updates, and recommend semantic version bumps.

What it does

Intelligent Parsing: Analyzes git logs to extract features, fixes, and breaking changes using the Conventional Commits specification.
Auto-Versioning: Calculates whether your next release should be a Major, Minor, or Patch based on commit impact.
Multi-Format Export: Generates output in Markdown (Keep a Changelog standard), GitHub Release format, JSON, or plain text.
Smart Filtering: Automatically strips CI/CD noise, merge commits, and duplicates to keep notes clean.

Why use this skill

Manually drafting release notes is error-prone and tedious. While a basic AI prompt might summarize commits, this skill uses a structured pipeline to ensure 100% accuracy in versioning logic and formatting standards. It bridges the gap between raw code changes and stakeholder-ready documentation, supporting monorepos, custom date ranges, and specific tag comparisons.

Supported Environments

Compatible with any AI agent featuring terminal and file access, including Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. It operates entirely locally on your repository with no external API dependencies.
