Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Use this skill whenever the user mentions changelogs, release notes, version updates, "what changed", product updates, app store descriptions, or needs to summarize recent development work for non-technical audiences.
This skill transforms technical git commits into polished, user-friendly changelogs that your customers and users will actually understand and appreciate.
