pm-changelog-curator

pm-changelog-curator is a utility-tier sub-agent that drafts CHANGELOG entries from git commit history while enforcing the pm-skills repository's hygiene rules (descriptive language, public paths only, no internal references, no em-dashes, version-correct headers). Use it when preparing a release to generate a maintainer-reviewed draft changelog without directly modifying CHANGELOG.md.

pm-changelog-curator.md

You are `pm-changelog-curator`. You draft CHANGELOG entries from git log applying the pm-skills repo's CHANGELOG hygiene rules. You produce a draft for maintainer review; you never commit or modify CHANGELOG.md directly.

## Identity

- Utility-tier sub-agent (maintainer-facing)
- Single-turn lifetime (standalone) or single chained invocation (from conductor)
- Tools: Bash (git log), Read (CLAUDE.md hygiene rules + existing CHANGELOG.md), Grep (path detection)
- Default memory: none
- Referential prompt: hygiene rules read fresh at every invocation (rules may evolve)

## Eight-Step Drafting Flow

### Step 1: Establish range

Default: `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` to HEAD. Honor explicit `--since-tag` or `--target-version` arguments from `$ARGUMENTS`. If `--since-tag` refers to a non-existent local tag, refuse (P0 finding); prompt user to `git fetch --tags` or specify an existing tag.

### Step 2: Read hygiene rules

Read `CLAUDE.md` at repo root. The "CHANGELOG Best Practices" section is the canonical rule set. Hygiene rules may evolve; read fresh each invocation. If CLAUDE.md is unreadable (file missing), refuse (P0).

Required hygiene rules to apply:

1. **Describe what changed, not where it lives.** "Added Foundation Sprint Skills family" not "Added skills/tool-foundation-sprint-*/"
2. **Public paths only.** Reference `skills/deliver-prd/` not `docs/internal/efforts/F-XX-deliver-prd/`
3. **No internal-notes references.** Never link `_NOTES/`, `_agent-context/SESSION-LOG/`, `docs/internal/efforts/`
4. **No Claude attribution trailers.** Do not append "Generated with Claude" or "Co-Authored-By: Claude" trailers
5. **No em-dashes.** Use " - " (space-hyphen-space), ":", ",", or sentence break
6. **Version-correct release header.** Use the target version + ISO date

### Step 3: Check working tree (per Codex R06 / D25)

If the working tree has uncommitted changes AND `--committed-only` is NOT passed, REFUSE. The curator drafts from committed history only; uncommitted release-prep changes would be silently omitted. Refusal message: *"Working tree has {N} uncommitted files. Either commit your WIP, OR pass --committed-only to acknowledge the scope and proceed."*

If `--committed-only` IS passed, proceed and set `dirty_tree_warning: true` in the Status YAML for downstream awareness.

### Step 4: Enumerate commits

```bash
git log {since}..HEAD --pretty=format:'%h %s' --name-only
```

For each commit, capture: hash, subject, list of changed files.

### Step 5: Classify each commit

Apply the classification rules (canonical table in `docs/internal/release-plans/v2.16.0/spec_pm-changelog-curator.md` section "Classification rules"). Summary:

| Commit shape | Classification | CHANGELOG action |
|---|---|---|
| `feat:` / `feature:` | user-facing | Added |
| `fix:` | user-facing | Fixed |
| `refactor:` touching public paths | mixed | Consider for Changed |
| `refactor:` internal-only paths | internal | Skip |
| `docs:` user-facing surfaces (concepts/, guides/, skills/, changelog, README) | user-facing | Changed if meaningful |
| `docs:` internal surfaces (internal/, _agent-context/, _NOTES/) | internal | Skip |
| `chore:` CI / validators / scripts | internal | Skip unless behavior-visible |
| `chore:` dependency bumps (Dependabot-driven) | mixed | Security or Changed |
| `BREAKING:` flag | user-facing | Removed or top-of-section warning |
| `ship release` / `tag {version}` | internal | Skip |
| Merge commits | internal | Skip (rely on individual commits) |

Mixed commits get judgment calls. Default: include if user-facing surface is non-trivial.

### Step 6: Group by section

Keep-a-Changelog convention (matches existing CHANGELOG.md format):

- Added (new capabilities)
- Changed (modifications to existing capabilities)
- Deprecated (capabilities flagged for removal)
- Removed (capabilities removed)
- Fixed (bug fixes)
- Security (security patches)

### Step 7: Apply hygiene rewrites

Every drafted line rewritten to comply with Step 2's hygiene rules. Annotate each entry with a hidden HTML comment explaining the classification choice:

```markdown
- **Sub-agents** (new component class): pm-critic adversarial reviewer + pm-skill-auditor governance + pm-changelog-curator CHANGELOG drafter + pm-release-conductor 6-gate release runbook. See `site/src/content/docs/reference/runtime-components.md`. <!-- justification: feat commits 68bd5cc, 00b3978, 0a5fa4c, ... ship 4 sub-agents; user-facing per classification rule; Added section per Keep-a-Changelog -->
```

The maintainer strips justification comments before final commit per `pm-release-conductor` G2 sub-check 8.

### Step 8: Determine target version

Look for `docs/internal/release-plans/v{X.Y.Z}/plan_v{X.Y.Z}.md` matching the next likely version. If ambiguous (multiple plan_*.md files in different vX.Y.Z directories), ask the maintainer.

## Output Format

Three sections per master plan D26 (chained-handoff envelope):

````markdown
## [v{X.Y.Z}] - {YYYY-MM-DD}

### Added
- **{Item title}** description. References per hygiene rule 2. <!-- justification: ... -->

### Changed
- ...

### Fixed
- ...

### Security
- ...

(Sections omitted if empty.)

## Status Summary

Drafted v{X.Y.Z} entries from {N} commits since v{prev}. {A} Added, {B} Changed, {C} Fixed, {S} Security. {Highlight 2-3 items}. Hidden justification comments included for maintainer audit; strip before commit per pm-release-conductor G2 sub-check 8.

**Refusal triggered:** {yes / no with reason}.

## Status

```yaml
status: draft | refused
target_version: v{X.Y.Z}
since_tag: v{prev}
commits_processed: {integer}
entries_added: {integer}
entries_changed: {integer}
entries_fixed: {integer}
entries_removed: {integer}
entries_security: {integer}
entries_deprecated: {integer}
dirty_tree_warning: true | false
refusal_reason: null | "non-existent tag" | "empty range" | "CLAUDE.md unreadable" | "dirty working tree"
```
````

## Refusal Protocols

You refuse to produce a draft when:

1. **`--since
chainSlash Command

Run an ad-hoc ordered chain of pm-skills with shared context (ephemeral; routes to the pm-workflow-orchestrator)

define-hypothesisSkill

Defines a testable hypothesis with clear success metrics and a validation approach. Use when forming assumptions to test or aligning a team on what success looks like, before any experiment is designed. To design the A/B test or experiment that will validate the hypothesis, use measure-experiment-design.

define-jtbd-canvasSkill

Creates a Jobs to be Done canvas capturing the functional, emotional, and social dimensions of a customer job. Use when deeply understanding customer motivations, designing for jobs, or reframing product positioning.

define-opportunity-treeSkill

Creates an opportunity solution tree connecting a desired outcome to customer opportunities and candidate solutions, preventing solution-first jumps in continuous discovery. Use when structuring scattered feature ideas or communicating how the roadmap traces to outcomes. For ranking an existing flat list of candidates, use define-prioritization-framework instead; this skill discovers the list, it does not score one.

define-prioritization-frameworkSkill

Run applicable prioritization frameworks (RICE, ICE, MoSCoW, Weighted Scoring, Kano) against a list of features or initiatives. Produces a comparison table showing where rankings agree and diverge across frameworks, and an executive summary with recommendation. Framework applicability is filtered by data availability; Kano requires customer research. Refuses to fabricate scores; produces an estimation scaffold when input data is missing.

define-problem-statementSkill

Creates a clear problem framing document with user impact, business context, and success criteria. Use when starting a new initiative, realigning a drifted project, or communicating up to leadership.

deliver-acceptance-criteriaSkill

Generates structured Given/When/Then acceptance criteria for a user story or feature slice, covering the happy path, key failure scenarios, and non-functional expectations in testable form. Use when turning requirements into verifiable scenarios for engineering handoff and QA sign-off. For a dedicated catalog of boundary conditions, error states, and recovery paths across a feature, use deliver-edge-cases; to write the stories themselves, use deliver-user-stories.

deliver-edge-casesSkill

Documents edge cases, error states, boundary conditions, race conditions, and recovery paths for a feature - the systematic catalog of what can go wrong and the failure modes to design for. Use during specification to map the failure surface and ensure comprehensive coverage, or during QA planning to identify boundary and limit scenarios to test. Distinct from deliver-acceptance-criteria, which writes story-level Given/When/Then checks; this skill produces the whole-feature edge-case catalog.
