changelog-writer skillA
changelog-writer is agent-read markdown (skill) from stbenjam/skillsaw: Draft changelog entries from merged pull requests since the last release tag.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Changelog Writer
Draft changelog entries by summarizing merged pull requests since the
last release tag.
## When to Use This Skill
Use when the user asks to prepare release notes, update CHANGELOG.md,
or summarize what shipped since the last release.
## Implementation Steps
### Step 1: Find the Last Release Tag
```bash
git describe --tags --abbrev=0
```
### Step 2: List Merged PRs Since the Tag
```bash
gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>$(git log -1 --format=%cI $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0))"
```
### Step 3: Draft Entries
Group PRs into sections:
- **Added** — new features and rules
- **Fixed** — bug fixes
- **Changed** — behavior changes and deprecations
Write one line per PR: a user-facing summary followed by the PR number
in parentheses. Skip PRs labeled `internal` or `ci`.
Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
