Changelog Generator Skill

Produces structured, well-formatted changelogs from git commit history or from a provided list of commits/notes. Supports Keep a Changelog format, Conventional Commits categorization, and custom templates.

How It Works

Fetch — Reads git log input (or accepts structured commit data) to extract commit messages, authors, and hashes
Categorize — Groups commits by Conventional Commits type (feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, perf:, test:, chore:, ci:, style:, build:, revert:)
Generate — Produces changelog in the requested format with semantic version bumps inferred from the commit types
Highlight — Identifies breaking changes (BREAKING CHANGE footers or ! after the type) and lists them first

Input Schema

Parameter	Type	Description
`commits`	string[]	Array of commit messages (or raw `git log` output)
`from_ref`	string	Optional: starting git ref (tag/branch/commit)
`to_ref`	string	Optional: ending git ref (default: HEAD)
`format`	string	Output format: `keep-a-changelog`, `markdown`, `json` (default: `markdown`)
`include_author`	boolean	Optional: include commit authors (default: false)

Example

{
  "commits": [
    "feat: add streaming response support",
    "fix: correct timeout handling in websocket reconnection",
    "docs: update API reference with new endpoints",
    "feat(api): add pagination to list endpoints",
    "refactor: extract caching layer into standalone module",
    "perf: reduce memory allocation in hot path",
    "BREAKING CHANGE: rename `send()` to `dispatch()` across all public APIs",
    "chore: bump dependencies"
  ],
  "format": "keep-a-changelog"
}

Example output (abbreviated):
