How are contributors recognized in the changelog?

The skill differentiates between first-time and returning contributors, using specific templates to thank them and link to their GitHub profiles.

Does it support links to PRs and Issues?

Yes, it uses inline markdown links and ensures PRs use /pull/ URLs while issues use /issues/ URLs, with definitions placed at the end of the entry.

What format does this skill use for changelogs?

It follows the Keep a Changelog specification, organizing entries into sections like Added, Changed, Fixed, and Security using ISO 8601 date formats.

Can I use this for non-Nextest projects?

While optimized for the nextest-rs repository, the underlying logic follows general Keep a Changelog best practices suitable for most software projects.
