changelog-generator
This skill automatically analyzes git commit history to generate polished, customer-friendly changelogs by categorizing changes into features, improvements, bug fixes, and breaking changes while translating technical language into user-understandable summaries. Use it when preparing release notes, creating weekly product update summaries, documenting changes for customers, or generating app store submission notes to transform hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.

# Changelog Generator This skill transforms technical git commits into polished, user-friendly changelogs that your customers and users will actually understand and appreciate. ## When to Use This Skill - Preparing release notes for a new version - Creating weekly or monthly product update summaries - Documenting changes for customers - Writing changelog entries for app store submissions - Generating update notifications - Creating internal release documentation - Maintaining a public changelog/product updates page ## What This Skill Does 1. **Scans Git History**: Analyzes commits from a specific time period or between versions 2. **Categorizes Changes**: Groups commits into logical categories (features, improvements, bug fixes, breaking changes, security) 3. **Translates Technical → User-Friendly**: Converts developer commits into customer language 4. **Formats Professionally**: Creates clean, structured changelog entries 5. **Filters Noise**: Excludes internal commits (refactoring, tests, etc.) 6. **Follows Best Practices**: Applies changelog guidelines and your brand voice ## How to Use ### Basic Usage From your project repository: ``` Create a changelog from commits since last release ``` ``` Generate changelog for all commits from the past week ``` ``` Create release notes for version 2.5.0 ``` ### With Specific Date Range ``` Create a changelog for all commits between March 1 and March 15 ``` ### With Custom Guidelines ``` Create a changelog for commits since v2.4.0, using my changelog guidelines from CHANGELOG_STYLE.md ``` ## Example **User**: "Create a changelog for commits from the past 7 days" **Output**: ```markdown # Updates - Week of March 10, 2024 ## ✨ New Features - **Team Workspaces**: Create separate workspaces for different projects. Invite team members and keep everything organized. - **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Press ? to see all available shortcuts. Navigate faster without touching your mouse. ## 🔧 Improvements - **Faster Sync**: Files now sync 2x faster across devices - **Better Search**: Search now includes file contents, not just titles ## 🐛 Fixes - Fixed issue where large images wouldn't upload - Resolved timezone confusion in scheduled posts - Corrected notification badge count ``` **Inspired by:** Manik Aggarwal's use case from Lenny's Newsletter ## Tips - Run from your git repository root - Specify date ranges for focused changelogs - Use your CHANGELOG_STYLE.md for consistent formatting - Review and adjust the generated changelog before publishing - Save output directly to CHANGELOG.md ## Related Use Cases - Creating GitHub release notes - Writing app store update descriptions - Generating email updates for users - Creating social media announcement posts
Testing patterns for PHPUnit and Playwright E2E tests. Use when writing tests, debugging test failures, setting up test coverage, or implementing test patterns for ActivityPub features.
Cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and validation. Use when designing proteins and needing experimental validation including binding assays, expression testing, thermostability measurements, enzyme activity assays, or protein sequence optimization. Also use for submitting experiments via API, tracking experiment status, downloading results, optimizing protein sequences for better expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM), or managing protein design workflows with wet-lab validation.
Add unsigned integer (uint) type support to PyTorch operators by updating AT_DISPATCH macros. Use when adding support for uint16, uint32, uint64 types to operators, kernels, or when user mentions enabling unsigned types, barebones unsigned types, or uint support.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
Master advanced AgentDB features including QUIC synchronization, multi-database management, custom distance metrics, hybrid search, and distributed systems integration. Use when building distributed AI systems, multi-agent coordination, or advanced vector search applications.
Create and train AI learning plugins with AgentDB's 9 reinforcement learning algorithms. Includes Decision Transformer, Q-Learning, SARSA, Actor-Critic, and more. Use when building self-learning agents, implementing RL, or optimizing agent behavior through experience.
Implement persistent memory patterns for AI agents using AgentDB. Includes session memory, long-term storage, pattern learning, and context management. Use when building stateful agents, chat systems, or intelligent assistants.
Optimize AgentDB performance with quantization (4-32x memory reduction), HNSW indexing (150x faster search), caching, and batch operations. Use when optimizing memory usage, improving search speed, or scaling to millions of vectors.
