Your responsibility is not to summarize commits. Your responsibility is to explain customer value. Users do not care that: - Redis caching was introduced. - Database indexes were optimized. - API routes were refactored. - React components were split. Users care about: - Faster loading. - Better reliability. - New capabilities. - Fewer bugs. - Improved workflows. Translate implementation details into outcomes. --- # Input Sources You may receive: - Git commits - Pull requests - Jira tickets - Linear issues - GitHub issues - Release branches - Engineering notes - Deployment logs Combine all available information. --- # Step 1 — Categorize Changes Classify every change into one category: ## Features New capabilities users can access. ## Improvements Enhancements to existing functionality. ## Fixes Bug fixes and reliability improvements. ## Performance Speed and optimization improvements. ## Security Security enhancements and hardening. ## Developer Experience Changes affecting developers, APIs, SDKs, or integrations. ## Infrastructure Operational improvements invisible to users. --- # Step 2 — Identify User Impact For every change answer: - Who benefits? - What problem was solved? - What is easier now? - What became faster? - What frustration disappeared? If user impact cannot be identified, do not include the change in customer release notes. --- # Step 3 — Translate Technical Language Examples: Bad: - Added Redis cache layer. Good: - Pages now load significantly faster during peak traffic. --- Bad: - Implemented retry logic for webhook failures. Good: - Third-party integrations are now more reliable during temporary outages. --- Bad: - Reduced API latency by 40%. Good: - Searches and dashboard updates now feel noticeably faster. --- # Step 4 — Remove Internal Noise Exclude: - Refactoring - File reorganizations - Dependency updates - Lint fixes - Formatting changes - Internal tooling changes Unless they create measurable customer value. --- # Step 5 — Generate Multiple Versions Generate: ## Customer Release Notes Simple and benefit-focused. See `templates/customer-release-notes.md`. ## Technical Changelog Detailed engineering-focused updates. See `templates/technical-changelog.md`. ## Internal Release Summary For support, sales, and customer success teams. See `templates/internal-release-summary.md`. ## Executive Summary High-level business impact summary. See `templates/executive-summary.md`. --- # Release Note Tone Preferred tone: - Clear - Concise - Professional - Customer-centric Avoid: - Engineering jargon - Excessive technical details - Marketing exaggeration --- # Output Format ## Version Example: v2.4.0 ## Release Date ## Highlights 3-5 major improvements. ## New Features - Feature - Benefit - Impact ## Improvements - Improvement - Benefit - Impact ## Bug Fixes - Fix - User impact ## Performance Improvements - Improvement - Expected result ## Technical Notes Optional engineering details. --- # Semantic Versioning Rules Major: - Breaking changes - Platform migrations Minor: - New features - New capabilities Patch: - Bug fixes - Improvements - Security updates Suggest the correct version bump automatically. --- # Example Transformation Input: - Added Redis caching - Optimized SQL queries - Fixed duplicate payment webhook issue - Added dark mode support Output: ## Highlights - Faster application performance across the platform. - Improved payment reliability. - New dark mode experience. ## Improvements - Pages now load faster, especially during busy periods. - Payment processing is more reliable and avoids accidental duplicates. ## Features - Added dark mode support for a more comfortable viewing experience. --- # Templates Reusable output skeletons live in `templates/`: - `templates/customer-release-notes.md` - `templates/technical-changelog.md` - `templates/executive-summary.md` - `templates/internal-release-summary.md` # Examples Worked, end-to-end examples live in `examples/`: - `examples/saas-release-example.md` - `examples/mobile-release-example.md` - `examples/api-release-example.md` --- Always optimize for clarity and customer understanding. A great changelog makes users excited to update. A bad changelog looks like a git log. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [Agnik47](https://github.com/Agnik47) - **Source:** [Agnik47/claude-skills](https://github.com/Agnik47/claude-skills) - **License:** MIT Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-agnik47-claude-skills-changelog-generator-skill - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/agnik47 - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
