Does it detect breaking changes automatically?

Yes, it scans commit messages for 'BREAKING CHANGE' footers or the exclamation mark suffix (e.g., feat!:) to flag breaking changes and recommend MAJOR version bumps.

Will it overwrite my existing changelog history?

No, you can choose to append new entries to existing files, preserving your project's historical documentation.

What changelog formats are supported?

The skill supports multiple industry-standard formats including Keep a Changelog, Conventional Commits, and GitHub-style release notes.

Can I use this for specific folders in a monorepo?

Absolutely. You can generate service-specific changelogs for individual directories or a consolidated changelog for the entire project root.

Does it require specific commit messages to work?

While it performs best with Conventional Commits, it can analyze any git history to categorize and summarize changes for your release notes.
