skillshare-changelog

Generate CHANGELOG.md entry from recent commits in conventional format. Also syncs the website changelog page. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: generate a changelog, document what changed between tags, or create a new CHANGELOG entry. If you see requests like "write the changelog for v0.17", "what changed since last release", this is the skill to use. Do NOT manually edit CHANGELOG.md without this skill — it ensures proper formatting, user-perspective writing, and website changelog sync. For full release workflows (tests, changelog, release notes, version bump, announcements), use /release instead.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable skill body: it sequences a clear 7-step workflow with executable git commands and a concrete format template, and avoids explaining concepts Claude already knows. The main gaps are minor redundancy between the template and key-style-points, verification guidance placed in Rules rather than as an explicit workflow checkpoint, and a moderately long single-file body that could split some detail into a reference.

Suggestions

Inline a verification checkpoint into the workflow (e.g. a Step 5.5: 'grep source to confirm each claimed feature exists before writing the entry') so validation is an explicit sequenced step rather than only a Rule.

De-duplicate the 'Key style points' list against the markdown template block — keep one canonical format spec to trim redundant tokens.

Provide a concrete command or snippet for the website-sync insertion (and for the 'grep source' verification) to close the actionability gap and make every step copy-paste-ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Efficient and assumes Claude's competence — no padding about what a changelog or conventional commit is — but the 'Key style points' list partially re-states rules already visible in the markdown template block (e.g. [X.Y.Z] without v, bold-name em-dash, bash tag), which is minor trimmable redundancy. Not level 5 because not every token earns its place; not level 3 because there is no real over-explanation of known concepts.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides copy-paste-ready bash commands (git describe, git log with range) and a concrete markdown format template, but the 'Verify features exist — grep source' rule and the website-sync step lack a specific executable command, leaving minor gaps that keep it below level 5.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Seven steps are clearly numbered and sequenced with a categorization table and read-before-write guidance; verification rules exist ('verify features exist', 'no fabricated links') but they live in the Rules section rather than as an explicit in-workflow checkpoint, a minor validation gap. Not level 3 because the sequence and guidance are strong; not level 5 because no explicit validate-step is embedded in the workflow.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Single-file skill with no bundle files present; body is well-organized into a Workflow with seven headed steps plus a Rules section, no nested references. Good structure with minor organization gaps — the ~127-line body is somewhat long and the detailed format template / website-sync differences could plausibly live in a reference, but it is coherent inline. Not level 5 because there are no well-signaled one-level-deep references and the skill exceeds the 50-line simple-skill threshold.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-constructed description: it states concrete capabilities, provides multiple natural trigger phrases, covers both what and when explicitly, and actively reduces conflict risk via negative boundary guidance against /release. Third-person voice is maintained throughout.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'Generate CHANGELOG.md entry from recent commits in conventional format', 'syncs the website changelog page', 'user-perspective writing' — giving comprehensive coverage of the skill's capabilities, matching the level-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (generate CHANGELOG entry + sync website) and 'when' (concrete 'Use this skill whenever...' trigger clause with example requests), plus negative boundary guidance, satisfying the level-5 anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural phrasings a user would actually say — 'generate a changelog', 'document what changed between tags', 'write the changelog for v0.17', 'what changed since last release' — with synonyms and concrete example requests, matching comprehensive level-5 coverage.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (CHANGELOG generation + website sync) with explicit conflict avoidance — 'Do NOT manually edit CHANGELOG.md without this skill' and 'For full release workflows... use /release instead' — minimizing trigger overlap, matching the level-5 anchor.
