Wiki Changelog

Generate structured changelogs from git history.

When to Use

• User asks "what changed recently", "generate a changelog", "summarize commits"
• User wants to understand recent development activity

Procedure

1. Examine git log (commits, dates, authors, messages)
2. Group by time period: daily (last 7 days), weekly (older)
3. Classify each commit: Features (🆕), Fixes (🐛), Refactoring (🔄), Docs (📝), Config (🔧), Dependencies (📦), Breaking (⚠️)
4. Generate concise user-facing descriptions using project terminology

Example

User request:

Generate a changelog from the recent git history, grouping user-visible changes and linking each claim to its commit.

Constraints

• Focus on user-facing changes
• Merge related commits into coherent descriptions
• Use project terminology from README
• Highlight breaking changes prominently with migration notes
