What standards does the Changelog Manager follow?

The skill strictly follows the 'Keep a Changelog' format and adheres to Semantic Versioning (SemVer) 2.0.0 for version numbering.

Can this skill help me determine my next version number?

Yes, it includes a logic table to help you decide whether a change requires a MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH version bump based on the nature of the updates.

How does it handle different types of changes?

It categorizes changes into six standard groups: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, and Security, ensuring users can quickly find the information they need.

Does it work with existing Git repositories?

Absolutely. It provides specific git commands to extract commits since your last tag or a specific date to populate your changelog accurately.
