Generate changelogs from git commits. Use when user says "generate changelog", "update changelog", "what changed since last release", or before preparing a new release.

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 Skill

Generate changelogs from conventional commits for Java projects.

## When to Use
- Before a release
- User says "generate changelog" / "update changelog" / "what changed since last release"
- After completing a milestone

## Versioning Convention Detection

Detect versioning style using this priority order:

### 1. Check CLAUDE.md (if exists)
```bash
grep -A5 "## Versioning" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
```

Look for explicit convention:
```markdown
## Versioning
This project uses Semantic Versioning (x.y.z).
Tag format: `release-x.y.z`
```

### 2. Fallback: Detect from git tags
```bash
git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -10
```

| Pattern detected | Versioning style |
|------------------|------------------|
| `v3.15.0`, `3.15.0` | SemVer (x.y.z) |
| `release-3.15.0` | SemVer with prefix |
| `v2.1`, `2.1` | Two-component (x.y) |
| `2026.01`, `26.1` | CalVer |
| No pattern | Ask user |

### 3. Fallback: Detect from CHANGELOG.md
```bash
grep -E "^\#+ \[.*\]" CHANGELOG.md | head -5
```

Extract version format from existing entries.

### 4. Last resort: Ask user
```
No versioning convention detected. Which format does this project use?
