# Changelog Generator
Parse a project's git history and produce a high-quality CHANGELOG.md following
the [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) convention.
## Philosophy
A changelog is for **humans**, not machines. It answers: "What meaningful changes
happened between version X and version Y?" Raw commit logs fail at this because
they contain noise — typo fixes, merge commits, CI tweaks, and refactors that
don't affect users. This skill filters signal from noise and writes entries that
a user or contributor can actually understand.
