Changelog & Release Notes Craftsman
Example session with this skill installed
Analyze git commits since v2.1.0 and generate release notes for a new minor version. Focus on the new Stripe integration and the breaking change in the webhook handler.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the changelog & release
- Generated the document
I have analyzed the commits and diffs since v2.1.0. Based on the new Stripe integration, I recommend a MINOR version bump to v2.2.0.
[2.2.0] - 2026-10-12
🚀 Added
- Stripe Payment Gateway: Integrated native checkout and subscription management.
- Audit Logs: Added trackable event history for all billing transactions.
🐛 Fixed
- Resolved a race condition in the session middleware affecting guest checkouts.
⚠️ Breaking Changes & Migration
The webhook listener now expects a signed payload for security.
Before:
`app.post('/webhooks', (req, res) => { handle(req.body); });`
**After:**
`app.post('/webhooks', express.raw({type: 'application/json'}), (req, res) => { const sig = req.headers['stripe-signature']; handle(req.body, sig); });`

About this skill
The problem
Writing release notes is a chore that developers often delay or rush, resulting in cryptic logs like "wip" or "fix typo" that confuse users. Manual tracking of breaking changes frequently leads to missed migration steps and broken downstream implementations.
What it does
- Analyzes raw git logs and PR diffs to filter out internal noise and refactor chatter.
- Categorizes updates into standard Keep a Changelog groups like Added, Fixed, and Security.
- Identifies breaking changes in public APIs and generates mandatory code-level migration guides.
- Suggests SemVer 2.0.0 version bumps based on the actual impact of code changes.
- Generates distribution-ready snippets for X/Twitter, Slack, and email newsletters.
Frameworks & tools
Works with Git, GitHub CLI (gh), and any terminal-based development environment like Claude Code or Cursor. Compatible with SemVer 2.0.0 and Keep a Changelog standards.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General-purpose prompts often hallucinate features or fail to recognize subtle breaking changes in exported types. This skill enforces a strict 5-phase synthesis workflow that validates every claim against the actual diff and provides the exact terminal commands to tag and push the release.
Use cases
- Transforming messy commit histories into polished, customer-facing changelogs.
- Generating step-by-step migration guides for major API refactors.
- Drafting multi-channel product announcements for Slack, Discord, and social media.
- Automating GitHub Release creation with precise tagging and notes.
