Can I customize where the changelog is saved?

Yes, the skill first checks for a defined path in .project-orchestrator/project.yml before falling back to standard directory searches.

How does this improve my project documentation?

By focusing on the 'Why' (motivation) and 'Problem Solved' rather than just listing changed files, it creates logs that are actually useful for stakeholders and other developers.

Does this skill support monorepos or multi-service projects?

Yes, it is specifically designed to route updates to the correct service-level CHANGELOG.md file based on your project configuration or folder structure.

What kind of changes trigger a changelog entry?

The skill triggers for bug fixes, new features, behavioral refactors, API changes, and configuration updates, while ignoring minor edits like typos or comments.
