How does it determine the next version number?

It maps Conventional Commit types to SemVer rules; breaking changes trigger a major bump, 'feat' triggers a minor bump, and other types like 'fix' trigger a patch bump.

Does it support custom commit types?

It supports standard types like feat and fix, as well as extended types such as security, deprecated, and remove for more granular documentation.

Can it prevent non-compliant commits from being merged?

Yes, by running the included commit linter script in 'strict' mode within your CI/CD pipeline, you can block merges that fail to follow Conventional Commit standards.

Can I use this in a monorepo setup?

Yes, the skill supports scoped filtering, allowing you to generate separate changelogs for different packages based on their commit scopes.

Automates the creation of structured, user-facing release notes and semantic versioning logic from Conventional Commits.

The Changelog Generator skill streamlines release management by parsing Conventional Commits to generate consistent, auditable changelogs. It automatically detects semantic versioning bumps (major, minor, patch), lints commit messages for compliance, and renders notes into 'Keep a Changelog' formats like Markdown or JSON. This skill is ideal for teams looking to automate their CI/CD release workflows, maintain high documentation standards in monorepos, and ensure that every production tag includes clear, actionable migration guidance for users.
