# Changelog Viewer

Changelog Viewer reads CHANGELOG.md and displays recent version entries with dates and sections when a user asks to view changelog history.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-ultimate-guide/tree/main/.agents/skills/source-command-changelog ~/.claude/skills/source-command-changelog
```

## README

# source-command-changelog

Use this skill when the user asks to run the migrated source command `changelog`.

## Command Template

# CHANGELOG Viewer

Display recent entries from CHANGELOG.md with optional count limit.

## Usage

```
/changelog       # Show last 5 entries (default)
/changelog 10    # Show last 10 entries
/changelog all   # Show all entries
```

## What to Display

Read `CHANGELOG.md` and extract the last N version entries with:
- Version number
- Release date
- All sections (Added, Changed, Fixed, etc.)
- Full content per section

## Output Format

[... more entries ...]

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Showing 5 of N total entries
Use /changelog 10 for more, or /changelog all for complete history
```

## Implementation

1. Read CHANGELOG.md
2. Parse entries using regex: `## \[(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)\] - (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})`
3. Extract content between version headers
4. Limit to N entries (default 5)
5. Format with clear separators
6. Add footer with total count

## Special Handling

- Skip `[Unreleased]` section if present at top
- Handle missing dates gracefully
- Preserve markdown formatting in descriptions
- Show section hierarchy (###, bullet points)
