Create or update a day-grouped, add-only CHANGELOG.md from git commit history. Use when asked to generate, refresh, or maintain a repository changelog. Produces newest-first day sections while keeping existing entries immutable and processes one day at a time to stay within context limits.
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
# update_changelog
<update_changelog_skill>
<objective>Create or update a `CHANGELOG.md` in the repository root: a human-readable, day-grouped, add-only history derived from git commits, newest day first. Record later committed changes as new entries or day sections while preserving existing entries as immutable historical facts.</objective>
<command_intent>build CHANGELOG.md, refresh changelog from git history, add the missing days to the changelog</command_intent>
<tools>
<prepare_changelog_day>Run `scripts/prepare_changelog_day.sh YYYY-MM-DD` from this skill when it is available. The script writes one structured context blob for a single calendar day to a file under the system tmp dir, with the day's commit subjects and bodies, the deduplicated repo-relative file list, per-file net diffs for the day, and generic placeholders for binary files. Its stdout prints exactly two lines: the context file's absolute path, then a one-line consumption directive. Exits 1 with `no commits on <date>` when the date has no commits, so skip that date silently.</prepare_changelog_day>

How to install
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/update_changelog@sha256:6348417db5241d74The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.1.1, 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.
