Can I use my own company style guide for formatting?

Absolutely. You can provide a specific file like CHANGELOG_STYLE.md as a reference to ensure the output matches your brand's voice and structure.

Where should I run this skill command?

Can I specify a date range for the generated changelog?

Yes, you can request changelogs for specific periods, such as 'the last 7 days', 'since March 1st', or between specific version tags.

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

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

Does it support different categories like 'Breaking Changes' or 'Security'?
