Changelog Generator
Scans commits across a date range or version tag, categorizes changes, strips internal noise, and rewrites technical language into plain prose.
Source Repository
/changelog
Point at a commit range, version tag, or time window.
Workflow:
- Gather commits via
git log for the requested range.
- Filter out internal noise — refactors, test-only, CI/chore commits unless user wants them.
- Group by type: New Features, Improvements, Bug Fixes, Security.
- Rewrite each entry in user-facing language (benefits, not implementation details).
- Format per Keep a Changelog or the user's style guide if provided.
- Output ready-to-commit
CHANGELOG.md or alternate format (Notion post, app store notes).
Grouping rules:
| Commit signal | Category |
|---|
feat:, new capability | New Features |
fix:, regression | Bug Fixes |
perf:, refactor: (user-visible) | Improvements |
security:, CVE, auth fix | Security |
chore:, ci:, test: | Filter out (default) |
Example Prompts
- Generate a changelog for commits between v1.4.0 and v1.5.0. Group by features, improvements, bug fixes, security. User-facing language.
- Create release notes from commits in the past 7 days. Filter chore/ci/test. Output as a Notion-ready product update post.
- Write app store release notes for iOS v3.2 since the last tag. Max 200 words. Friendly and benefit-focused.
Style Guide Support
If the user provides a style guide file, enforce:
- Terminology (feature names, product voice)
- Tone (formal vs casual)
- Formatting (bullet vs paragraph, emoji policy)
Guardrails
- Run
git log in the correct repo root — confirm with user if ambiguous.
- Do not invent features not present in commits.
- Flag breaking changes explicitly in a dedicated section.
- For app store notes, respect platform character limits.
