Changelog Generator
Generate or update a project changelog from recent commits or merged changes.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Changelogs are a good way to communicate updates to your users. You'll want to list the features and bug fixes you've released. Be clear about what changed. Include any deprecations or breaking changes. You might want to highlight the most important updates. Think about what matters to your users. Different companies format changelogs differently. You could organize by version or date. It's good to be consistent with your format. What kind of updates are you planning to share?
CHANGELOG STRUCTURE (structured workflow, consistent format) PRE-WRITE PHASE: Gather facts (not interpretation) Git log extract (commits since last release) QA test results (what shipped, what's still in progress) User feedback channels (what people requested) Breaking change audit (any API or UX breaking points?) CHANGELOG ENTRY FORMAT: VERSION 2.4.0 — 2026-07-31 HIGHLIGHT: 'Faster calendar sync (40% speedup), now syncs Outlook' (One sentence that excites; lead with user benefit, not technical detail) NEW FEATURES: • Auto-book overlapping meetings to waitlist (inspired by customer feedback: 'We need batch scheduling') • Outlook calendar sync (formerly Google-only) • AI conflict resolution: If two priorities clash, AI suggests which to move (new, experimental) IMPROVEMENTS: • Calendar sync speed: 3 seconds → 2 seconds (40% faster) • Meeting description parsing: Now extracts attendee list from email (reduces manual entry) • Mobile UI: Larger buttons (44px, accessibility improvement) BUG FIXES: • Fixed: Recurring meetings on Friday appearing twice (issue #482) • Fixed: Time zone conversion breaking 12am-1am bookings (issue #519) • Fixed: Logout button invisible in dark mode (issue #501) DEPRECATIONS: • API endpoint /calendar/events/v1 (deprecated, migrate to v2 before 2026-10-31) • CalendarSync.sync() method → use CalendarSyncV2.syncOptimized() (3x faster) • CSS class .old-button-style → use .modern-button (will be removed in v2.5) KNOWN ISSUES: • Outlook sync not yet supported on Windows 7 (requires .NET Framework 4.8+) • Recurring daily events show UTC time instead of local time in list view (workaround: click event to view correct time) THANKS TO: • Contributors: Chen (UX), Sarah (backend optimization), test team (Outlook validation) • Customers who reported issues #482, #519 (you found the bugs we'd have shipped) RELEASE PROCESS: Ready to deploy: Changelog + release notes + product notification → all three ship together No changelog = no ship (blocks releases until documented)
