Automate changelog generation from commits following Conventional Commits
by wshobsonFree
Description
changelog-automation is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for generating changelogs and release notes from commit history. It follows the Conventional Commits convention for commit messages and the Keep a Changelog format for the output, and it covers the tools teams use to automate both. The skill lists several implementation methods: Conventional Changelog on Node.js, standard-version, semantic-release with full CI/CD automation, git-cliff, which is written in Rust, and commitizen, which is written in Python. It covers setting up release workflows, generating GitHub and GitLab release notes, standardizing commit message formats so the tools can read them, and managing semantic versioning across releases. The skill is meant for maintainers who want version numbers and release notes to come from the commit history instead of being written by hand before each release. Because the choice of tool depends on the stack and the release process, the skill helps the agent pick the method that fits a project. It is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 13.5K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.…
