What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by udecode/kitcn in .agents/skills/changeset/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Always mirror @packages/kitcn/CHANGELOG.md tone and structure.

0) Reuse existing changeset

  • Before creating a new changeset, check .changeset/ for an existing unreleased changeset.
  • If one exists, UPDATE it instead of creating a new file. Nothing in it has been released yet, so treat it as a living draft.
  • Replace outdated content — don't append "also added..." or track progress. Write the latest state as if from scratch.

1) Versioning (project is still v0)

  • Breaking change => minor
  • Non-breaking change => patch
  • If a release has both breaking and non-breaking work, use minor.

2) Required body structure

  • Split the body into explicit sections:
    • ## Breaking changes
    • ## Features
    • ## Patches
  • Omit empty sections, but never mix categories in one section.
  • Keep bullets concise and user-facing.

3) Migration snippets (required for breaking changes)

  • Every breaking change must include a short Before/After code snippet immediately under that section.
  • Include changed imports, renamed exports, or changed call signatures.
  • If a symbol is renamed, include a dedicated rename snippet.

4) Bullet quality rules

  • Start bullets with action verbs: Add, Support, Fix, Improve, Deprecate, Remove, Drop.
  • Describe what users can do now, not internals.
  • Do not mention file paths, private implementation details, or algorithm notes.
  • Keep each bullet to one concrete outcome.

5) Copy-paste template
