Write external-facing changelog and release note entries in a pithy, tastefully sassy, occasionally clever voice that makes software updates fun to read without burying what actually shipped. Use this skill whenever someone asks to write, draft, or review a changelog entry, release notes, "what's new" post, or product update announcement for end users. Also trigger when someone pastes a list of shipped features/fixes and wants them turned into public-facing copy, or asks to make a changelog…
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 Writer Writes external, end-user-facing changelog entries with personality — modeled on what Slack, Basecamp, Linear, Raycast, and Tumblr do well: voice and confidence first, jokes used sparingly and only in service of the fact, never replacing it. **This skill is for external/end-user changelogs.** If the audience is internal engineering or the changelog needs to double as a searchable technical record (breaking changes, API versioning, migration notes), this tone is the wrong trade — use a precise, Stripe-style format instead and skip this skill. **Reference files:** - `references/voice-examples.md` — annotated examples of the tone done well (Slack, Basecamp, Tumblr, Raycast, Linear) and done badly, for calibration - `references/draft-format.md` — the full spec for the intermediate draft format the scripts parse **Scripts** (in `scripts/`) — run these against every draft before presenting a final version: - `check-all.mjs` — runs everything below and gives one pass/fail report - `check-structure.mjs`, `check-sass-budget.mjs`, `check-voice.mjs`, `check-length.mjs`, `check-cadence.mjs` --- ## Workflow …

How to install
mdr add ommakes/skills/changelog-writer@sha256:fcb615a1b546e517The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
