Individual skill
changelog-writer
Turn a list of changes, commits, or PRs into clean release notes / a changelog entry. Use when asked to write release notes, a changelog, or a version announcement from raw changes. Produces a Keep-a-Changelog-style entry grouped by type (Added/Changed/Fixed/etc.), written for users — surfacing breaking changes and upgrade notes up top. To go straight from a raw git log use changelog-generator instead.

# Changelog Writer Skill
Raw commit logs are written for the author; a changelog is written for the *user*. This skill turns a pile of
commits/PRs/changes into a clean release entry — grouped by type, in plain user-facing language, with
**breaking changes and upgrade steps surfaced first** so nobody gets surprised.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- **The changes** — commit messages, PR titles, or a bullet list of what changed.
- **Version & date** — the release number (or help pick per semver) and date.
- **Audience** — end users, API consumers, library developers (sets the voice).
- **Conventions** (optional) — Keep a Changelog, an existing style, links to issues/PRs.
