Changelog Standards

Create and maintain project changelogs based on Keep a Changelog v1.1.0.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when:

  • •User creates a new project that needs a CHANGELOG.md
  • •User wants to add a release or version bump
  • •User mentions changelog, release notes, or version history
  • •User asks about documenting changes or what changed
  • •Agent needs to update CHANGELOG.md after making significant changes
  • •User asks about semantic versioning or release practices

Core Principles

  1. •Changelogs are for humans, not machines
  2. •Each version should have an entry
  3. •Group similar types of changes
  4. •Make versions and sections linkable
  5. •List the latest version first
  6. •Include release dates (ISO 8601: YYYY-MM-DD)
  7. •Follow Semantic Versioning

File Naming

  • •Required: CHANGELOG.md
  • •Alternatives: HISTORY.md, NEWS.md
  • •Use uppercase for main file

Creating a New Changelog

When creating a changelog for a new project:

markdown
# Changelog

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

### Added
- Initial project setup

Adding a New Release

  1. •Move items from [Unreleased] to new version section
  2. •Add date in ISO 8601 format
  3. •Update links at bottom
  4. •Keep [Unreleased] section (empty or with upcoming changes)
markdown
## [Unreleased]

[1.0.0]: https://github.com/user/repo/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Versioning (SemVer)

  • •MAJOR: Breaking changes (incompatible API changes)
  • •MINOR: New features (backwards compatible)
  • •PATCH: Bug fixes (backwards compatible)

Review Checklist
