Changelog Orchestrator

Overview

This skill turns raw repo activity (merged PRs, issues, commits, optional Slack updates) into a publishable changelog draft and prepares a branch/PR for review.

Prerequisites

A project config file at .changelog-config.json in the target repo.
Required environment variables set (at minimum GITHUB_TOKEN for GitHub source).
Git available in PATH; gh optional (used for PR creation if configured).

Instructions

Read .changelog-config.json from the repo root.
Validate it with {baseDir}/scripts/validate_config.py.
Decide date range:
Load the configured markdown template (or fall back to {baseDir}/assets/weekly-template.md).
Render the final markdown using {baseDir}/scripts/render_template.py.
Ensure frontmatter contains at least date (ISO) and version (SemVer if known; otherwise 0.0.0).
Run deterministic checks using {baseDir}/scripts/quality_score.py.
If score is below threshold:
Write the changelog file to the configured output_path.
Create a branch changelog-YYYY-MM-DD, commit with docs: add changelog for YYYY-MM-DD.
If gh is configured, open a PR; otherwise, print the exact commands the user should run.

See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

A markdown changelog draft (usually CHANGELOG.md), plus an optional PR URL.
A quality report (score + findings) from {baseDir}/scripts/quality_score.py.

Error Handling

See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
