What this Skill does
Analyzes git commit history and generates structured changelogs categorized by change type. Use when the user asks about recent changes, wants a changelog, or needs to understand what changed in the repository.
How the upstream workflow works
Procedure
Examine git log (commits, dates, authors, messages) Group by time period: daily (last 7 days), weekly (older) Classify each commit: Features (🆕), Fixes (🐛), Refactoring (🔄), Docs (📝), Config (🔧), Dependencies (📦), Breaking (⚠️) Generate concise user-facing descriptions using project terminology
Upstream passage · L29 ↗When to Activate
User asks "what changed recently", "generate a changelog", "summarize commits" User wants to understand recent development activity
Upstream passage · L24 ↗Requirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
Constraints
Focus on user-facing changes Merge related commits into coherent descriptions
Upstream passage · L36 ↗Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
