# Changelog Keeper

## Overview

Keywords: changelog, CHANGELOG.md, Keep a Changelog, keepachangelog, semantic versioning, semver, release notes, version bump, Unreleased, changelog entry, release.

This skill maintains a human-readable `CHANGELOG.md` following the [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) convention and [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org). It writes entries that describe *what changed for users*, not raw commit messages, groups them under the six canonical change types, accumulates them under `## [Unreleased]`, and cuts dated, versioned releases when shipping.

Use it to: start a new changelog, add an entry for a change, cut a release (move Unreleased to a dated version + bump the version number), draft release notes from a git diff/log, or audit/repair an existing changelog's structure.

The six canonical groups (use these exact names, in this order):
**Added · Changed · Deprecated · Removed · Fixed · Security**
