What it does
- Scans git commits for a date range or between version tags.
- Groups them into features, improvements, fixes, breaking changes and security items.
- Rewrites developer shorthand into language customers actually understand.
- Filters out internal noise such as refactors, tests and chores.
- Honors your own style guide (e.g.
CHANGELOG_STYLE.md) for consistent brand voice.
Who it's for
- Developers and tech leads who hand-write release notes every ship cycle.
- PMs and product marketers publishing weekly or monthly update digests.
- Teams writing app store update copy or GitHub release notes repeatedly.
Examples
- "Create a changelog from commits since last release" → structured markdown draft ready for CHANGELOG.md.
- "Generate a changelog for commits between March 1 and March 15" → newsletter-ready weekly summary.
- "Create release notes for v2.5.0 using my CHANGELOG_STYLE.md guidelines" → notes that match house style.
