This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 4 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
mkl-generate-changelog from 00200200/maintainer-skills-lab is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Generate grouped, token-compact changelogs and release notes from git log.
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
# Generate Grouped, Token-Compact Changelog
Extract revision history and synthesize human-readable release notes grouped by impact.
Preserve user-facing significance while pruning commit noise, internal churn, and redundant entries.
## 1. Log Extraction
1. Identify the baseline tag or revision range (for example `v1.2.0..HEAD` or `<last-tag>..HEAD`).
2. Run single-line log extraction to conserve token context:
```bash
git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
```
3. Never dump full commit diffs (`git log -p`) or raw merge commit lists into the prompt context.
## 2. Categorization & Grouping
Group extracted commits into standard semantic sections:
- **⚠️ Breaking Changes**: API removals, signature changes, altered defaults, or required migration steps.
- **🚀 Features**: New capabilities, commands, CLI flags, or public user-facing interfaces.
- **🐛 Bug Fixes**: Repaired defects, edge-case fixes, and crash prevention.
- **🛠️ Maintenance**: Performance optimizations, documentation updates, dependency bumps, and tooling.
## 3. De-duplication & Synthesis Rules

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.cae68bf, 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.
