Draft changelog entries from merged pull requests since the last release tag.
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.

# 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`.
The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
