Standardizes project changelogs using the Keep a Changelog specification to create readable, user-focused project histories.

The Changelog Format skill is a specialized tool for Claude Code that implements the industry-standard 'Keep a Changelog' specification. It guides developers in writing high-quality release notes by categorizing changes—such as Added, Fixed, or Security—and enforcing a user-centric writing style. By promoting the use of imperative mood and focusing on user impact rather than implementation details, this skill ensures your project's history is professional, consistent, and easy for humans to read while maintaining a clear connection to Semantic Versioning (SemVer).
