Individual skill
changelog-from-commits
Write a human changelog from the REAL commit history — read the actual commit range via the GitHub connector, not a template. Use when asked to write the changelog for this release, what changed since the last tag, draft release notes from my commits, or summarise this range for users in Cowork. Reads commits/PRs between two refs via the GitHub connector, groups them into user-facing changes (features / fixes / breaking), translates commit-speak into human benefit, and produces a changelog artifact ready for the release.

# Changelog from Commits (Live)
Users don't read commit messages, and they shouldn't have to. In Claude Cowork this skill reads the *real* commit range and turns it into a changelog written for the people who use the software — grouped, deduped, and translated from "refactor: extract helper" into what actually changed for them.
## What This Skill Produces
- **The changelog** — grouped into Added / Changed / Fixed / Breaking, each entry written as user-facing benefit, not commit-speak
- **The breaking-change callout** — migrations and removals pulled to the top with what to do
- **A changelog artifact** — Keep-a-Changelog style, ready to paste into `CHANGELOG.md` or a release
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- **The range** — from tag/ref to tag/ref (default: last tag → HEAD), and the repo
