Write and maintain release-history artifacts for shipped changes: `CHANGELOG.md` updates, release notes, migration/deprecation updates, and lightweight game patch notes. Use when the main job is turning shipped evidence into the smallest truthful release-writing packet for developers, customers, internal stakeholders, or players. Also owns the retired `release-notes` name: turn tickets, PRDs, or Git logs into user-facing notes that lead with the benefit. Triggers on: changelog, release notes…

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

# Changelog Maintenance

Use this skill when the deliverable is **release history or shipped-change communication**, not a broad documentation or launch-campaign bundle.

`changelog-maintenance` is the documentation-cluster anchor for:
- `CHANGELOG.md` upkeep
- GitHub / GitLab / docs-site release notes
- migration and deprecation updates tied to a shipped change
- customer-facing “what changed” summaries
- lightweight game patch notes and small update posts

Read these support docs before choosing the mode or boundary:
- [references/modes-and-boundaries.md](references/modes-and-boundaries.md)
- [references/output-packets-and-channel-handoffs.md](references/output-packets-and-channel-handoffs.md)
- [references/release-note-quality-checklist.md](references/release-note-quality-checklist.md)
- [references/automation-and-source-of-truth.md](references/automation-and-source-of-truth.md)

## When to use this skill
- A repo needs a durable changelog entry or `Unreleased` refresh based on shipped work
- A release needs audience-appropriate notes for developers, customers, internal stakeholders, or players

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/changelog-maintenance@sha256:5cbe936f9e41934d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
