Can I customize the tone of the generated changelog?

Absolutely. You can point the skill to a style guide file or provide specific instructions to ensure the output matches your brand's voice.

How do I limit the changelog to specific versions?

You can use natural language to specify ranges, such as 'since last release', 'between v1.0 and v1.1', or 'from the last 14 days'.

What output formats are supported?

While it defaults to clean Markdown, you can instruct the skill to format the output for specific platforms like Slack, email newsletters, or App Store metadata.

Does this skill work with any git repository?

Yes, as long as Claude Code has access to the repository's git history, it can analyze commits and generate structured changelogs.

Does it filter out technical commits like 'refactor' or 'chore'?

Yes, the skill is designed to identify and exclude internal noise, focusing only on changes that provide actual value or impact to the end-user.
