Changelog Writer

Draft changelog entries by summarizing merged pull requests since the last release tag.

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user asks to prepare release notes, update CHANGELOG.md, or summarize what shipped since the last release.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Find the Last Release Tag

git describe --tags --abbrev=0

Step 2: List Merged PRs Since the Tag

gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>$(git log -1 --format=%cI $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0))"

Step 3: Draft Entries

Group PRs into sections:

• Added — new features and rules
• Fixed — bug fixes
• Changed — behavior changes and deprecations

Write one line per PR: a user-facing summary followed by the PR number in parentheses. Skip PRs labeled internal or ci.
