The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 149 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Do not prompt the user for the date range or contributor scope when they are not provided.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    If GitHub identity is needed for API resolution, identify the current GitHub user with gh api user --jq .login.

    line 22
  3. Distinctive:

    When the default GitHub-user filter cannot be reliably matched to local author names or emails, use the repository commit API to resolve …

    line 29
  4. Distinctive:

    Read relevant diffs and group duplicate or related commits into one change.

    line 32
  5. Very specific:

    Start each bullet with one of: - Added, - Improved, or - Fixed.

    line 40
  6. Distinctive:

    Write one meaningful change per bullet in plain language.

    line 41
  7. Distinctive:

    Do not invent benefits or details that are not supported by the history.

    line 46
  8. Very specific:

    If no meaningful changes match, return - No meaningful changes found.

    line 47

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 149 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Changelog

Quick start

Generate changelog text only. Do not create or edit a changelog file.

Do not prompt the user for the date range or contributor scope when they are not provided. Default to the past 7 days and the current Git user. Use the user's explicit date range and contributor scope when provided. Keep the default repository and branch as the current repository and current branch.

Workflow

  1. Identify the current Git user from the repository configuration and history. If GitHub identity is needed for API resolution, identify the current GitHub user with gh api user --jq .login.
  2. Identify the current repository and branch from the local git checkout.
  3. Inspect matching local history with git log and git show, including both regular commits and merge commits. Restrict results to the selected dates, branch, and contributor scope. When no date range is specified, use the previous 7 days; when no contributor is specified, use the current Git user.
  4. When the default GitHub-user filter cannot be reliably matched to local author names or emails, use the repository commit API to resolve that GitHub login to commit SHAs, then inspect those commits with local git.
  5. Read relevant diffs and group duplicate or related commits into one change.
  6. Translate implementation details into meaningful outcomes a layman can understand. Include internal work only when it has a clear user, maintainer, documentation, reliability, or future-feature impact.

Output rules

  • Return only a simple bullet list, with no preamble, table, or commit log.
  • Start each bullet with one of: - Added, - Improved, or - Fixed.
  • Write one meaningful change per bullet in plain language.
  • Explain the result or benefit rather than copying commit messages.
  • Combine commits that implement the same outcome.
  • Omit routine formatting, mechanical refactors, tests, and dependency changes unless their impact is relevant enough to explain to others.
  • Do not invent benefits or details that are not supported by the history.
  • If no meaningful changes match, return - No meaningful changes found.

Example output:

- Added clearer error messages when a saved report cannot be loaded.
- Improved the setup documentation for configuring GitHub authentication.
- Fixed an issue that could hide newly created projects from the project list.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
