# 📜 Changelog Automation Skill

> Automates changelog generation from commits, pull requests, and release notes following Keep a Changelog standards and Conventional Commits.

## Purpose

The `changelog-automation` skill automates the generation and maintenance of project changelogs from Git commit histories, pull requests, and release tags. Adhering to the [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/) standard and Conventional Commits specifications, it ensures change logs communicate user impact and breaking changes rather than dumping raw commit messages.

***

## Core Philosophy: Focus on User & Developer Impact

A changelog is a communication document, not a raw `git log` dump.

* **Group Changes by Audience Impact**:
  * **Added**: New features or capabilities.
  * **Changed**: Modifications in existing functionality.
  * **Deprecated**: Soon-to-be removed features.
  * **Removed**: Now-removed features.
  * **Fixed**: Bug fixes.
  * **Security**: Vulnerability resolutions.
* **Highlight Breaking Changes**: Explicitly state migration steps required for developers or users when breaking changes occur.

***

## Tooling & Setup Integration

Integrate standard semantic versioning and commitlint tooling:

* **Conventional Commits**: Enforce commit message formatting (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `perf:`).
* **Automation Tools**: Use tools such as `@commitlint`, `standard-version`, `release-it`, or `semantic-release`.
