Generate or update a repository CHANGELOG.md in Keep a Changelog format from git history - grouping commits since the last tag into Added/Changed/Deprecated/Removed/Fixed/Security, rewriting them as user-facing entries, and recommending the semantic version bump. Use when someone asks "generate a changelog from the git log", "update CHANGELOG.md for this release", "what version bump does this release need", or "turn these commits into release notes". Do NOT use for writing benefit-first…
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 Generator A changelog exists so a human deciding whether to upgrade can answer "what breaks, what's fixed, what's new" in thirty seconds. The costly failure is dumping `git log` into a file: raw commit messages describe the code's history, not the release's meaning, and they bury the one breaking change under forty chores. This skill turns commit history into a Keep a Changelog-formatted CHANGELOG.md and a defensible version bump. ## Inputs to collect Gather before writing: the repo (or the raw log), the last released tag (`git describe --tags --abbrev=0` - if there are no tags, the whole history is the first release), the existing CHANGELOG.md if any (append to its conventions rather than reformatting history), whether commits follow Conventional Commits (`feat:`, `fix:` prefixes make categorization mechanical; otherwise categorize by reading each diff's intent), and the project's versioning scheme (default: SemVer). Label any inferred categorization from an ambiguous commit as a guess for the maintainer to confirm. ## Operating procedure …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/changelog-generator@sha256:f19687f61a0e1810The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
