Install changelog-generator for Claude Code and write release notes from Git

Turn commits in a chosen Git range into release notes that explain what changed for users.

Install in Claude Code

Claude Code and a local Git repository with a known revision range.

Open the pinned GitHub source below and retrieve the `plugins/all-skills/skills/changelog-generator/` directory from that revision.
Copy it into `.claude/skills/changelog-generator/` in your project, keeping `SKILL.md` and its companion files together.
Open Claude Code in the project root and enter `/changelog-generator` followed by the example task.

Example task

Tag a practice repository v1.0, then add commits for CSV export, an empty-list export fix, and test-helper cleanup. Ask for customer-facing notes covering v1.0..HEAD.

What to check

The draft lists the export feature and fix, leaves out the test-only cleanup, and ties both visible changes back to commits.

Frequently asked question

Can I generate notes only for changes since a previous release?

Yes. Supply a range such as v1.0..HEAD and check the draft against the actual commit history.
