What Changelog Generator does

Changelog Generator creates a CHANGELOG.md entry from conventional commits between git tags and syncs the website changelog page. Use it when asked to generate a changelog or document what changed since the last release.

Changelog Generator is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Changelog Generator comes from a repository tagged agenthub, ai, claude-code, cli and codex.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Generate a CHANGELOG.md entry for a release. $ARGUMENTS specifies the tag version (e.g., v0.16.0) or omit to auto-detect via git describe --tags --abbrev=0.

Scope: This skill updates CHANGELOG.md and syncs the website changelog (website/src/pages/changelog.md). It does NOT generate RELEASE_NOTES, update version numbers, or handle the full release workflow — use /release for that.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Version Range

# Auto-detect latest tag
LATEST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
# Find previous tag
PREV_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 "${LATEST_TAG}^")

echo "Generating changelog: $PREV_TAG → $LATEST_TAG"

Step 2: Collect Commits

git log "${PREV_TAG}..${LATEST_TAG}" --oneline --no-merges

Step 3: Categorize Changes

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
