What Changelog Scan does

Changelog Scan scans recent merges to main and noteworthy direct commits since a given window, extracting titles, labels, types, linked issues, and signals for breaking changes or security. It produces structured input for a release notes drafter, used in changelog-drafter loops.

Changelog Scan is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Changelog Scan comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, ai-coding, anthropic and automation.
