Maintain a changelog following Keep a Changelog format. Covers entry categorization (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security), version section management, and unreleased tracking. Use when starting a new project that needs a changelog, adding entries after completing features or fixes, preparing a release by promoting Unreleased entries to a versioned section, or converting a free-form changelog to Keep a Changelog format.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Manage Changelog Maintain a project changelog following the [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) format.

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/manage-changelog@sha256:bf294aab97ba6840The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
