About this skill

Generate formatted release notes from git commits since the last tag and prepend them to CHANGELOG.md

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by doezer/questarr in .claude/skills/release-notes-questarr/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.

  1. Run git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges to get commits since the last tag.

  2. Determine the new version from the current release/* branch name (e.g. release/1.3.0 → 1.3.0).

  3. Get today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  4. Group commits by type using these categories (skip merge commits and anything without meaningful user impact):

    • Added — feat: commits
    • Fixed — fix: commits
    • Changed — chore:, refactor:, perf:, update:, deps: commits
    • Security — commits mentioning security, SSRF, CVE, auth, or vulnerability
  5. Format the output as a markdown changelog section:

    ## [VERSION] - DATE
    
    ### Added
    - ...
    
    ### Fixed
    - ...
    
    ### Changed
    - ...
    

    Omit sections that have no entries. Write bullet points in plain English (no commit hashes), and mention PR numbers where present.

  6. Read docs/CHANGELOG.md, then prepend the new section immediately after the # Changelog header line (before the first existing ## [...] section), and write the file back.

  7. Display the generated section to the user.
