Does it work with large diffs?

Yes, for very large changes over 500 lines, it intelligently summarizes the impact using file statistics and commit headers to avoid context overflow.

Can it handle rebased or force-pushed commits?

Yes, it uses a combination of commit hashes and semantic analysis of the changes to avoid creating duplicate entries if the git history is rewritten.

How does Changelog Writer differ from standard git log tools?

Unlike tools that only mirror commit messages, Changelog Writer analyzes the actual code changes (diffs) to describe the functional impact from a user's perspective.

Does it modify my existing CHANGELOG.md file directly?

No, it maintains a separate draft file (~/.claude/loop-recipes/changelog-draft.md) so you can review and approve entries before merging them into your main documentation.

開発者ツール

Generates human-readable changelog entries in Keep-a-Changelog format by analyzing actual git code diffs in real-time.

Changelog Writer is a specialized agent designed to run as a background process using the Claude Code /loop command. Unlike basic scripts that only look at commit messages, this skill performs deep diff analysis to understand the functional impact of your changes, translating technical code updates into user-centric documentation. It follows the Keep-a-Changelog standard, organizing entries into categories like Added, Fixed, and Changed, while maintaining a persistent state to ensure no duplicate entries are created across multiple development sessions.
