Does it include internal code refactors in the changelog?

No, the skill is designed to exclude internal-only work like tests, refactors, and CI changes to keep the log focused on user impact.

How does the skill identify the current app version?

It uses a heuristic search across files like tauri.conf.json and package.json to find the current version string.

Can it detect changes that haven't been committed yet?

Yes, it inspects the working tree and staged changes using git status and git diff to ensure the log reflects the current state of development.

What happens if no Git tags are found?

If no tag is found or if the history is ambiguous, the skill will list recent tags and ask you to select the correct baseline for the comparison.

Learning & Documentation

Generates comprehensive, user-facing changelogs by analyzing Git history and uncommitted changes to update your project's documentation.

The change-log skill streamlines the release process by automatically identifying all changes since the last release tag. It intelligently scans Git logs, file diffs, and even uncommitted working tree changes to draft a polished, user-centric summary categorized by additions, changes, and fixes. Designed primarily for Tauri and Node.js projects, it ensures your documentation stays current without the manual overhead of tracking every commit, filtering out internal noise like refactors and CI updates to focus on what matters most to your users.
