What formatting style does the generator follow?

The skill strictly follows 'Keep a Changelog' conventions, organizing changes into specific categories like Added, Changed, Fixed, and Breaking Changes.

Can I review the changelog before it is saved?

Absolutely. The skill generates a preview of the markdown entry first and specifically asks for your permission before writing or editing any files in your repository.

How does it determine which commits to include in the entry?

The skill checks for the most recent git tag and includes all commits since that point. If no tag is found, it uses a reasonable default or asks the user for a specific range.

Does this skill support existing changelog files?

Yes, it automatically scans for files like CHANGELOG.md or HISTORY.md and offers to prepend the new entry while preserving the existing header.
