Wiki Changelog

Generate structured changelogs from git history.

Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST)

Before generating any changelog, you MUST determine the source repository context:

  1. Check for git remote: Run git remote get-url origin to detect if a remote exists
  2. Ask the user: "Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps)?"
    • Remote URL provided → store as REPO_URL, use linked citations for commit hashes and file references
    • Local-only → use plain commit hashes and file references
  3. Do NOT proceed until source repo context is resolved

When to Activate

  • User asks "what changed recently", "generate a changelog", "summarize commits"
  • User wants to understand recent development activity

Procedure

  1. Examine git log (commits, dates, authors, messages)
  2. Group by time period: daily (last 7 days), weekly (older)
  3. Classify each commit: Features (🆕), Fixes (🐛), Refactoring (🔄), Docs (📝), Config (🔧), Dependencies (📦), Breaking (⚠️)
  4. Generate concise user-facing descriptions using project terminology

Constraints

  • Focus on user-facing changes
  • Merge related commits into coherent descriptions
  • Use project terminology from README
  • Highlight breaking changes prominently with migration notes
  • When REPO_URL is available, link commit hashes: [abc1234](REPO_URL/commit/abc1234) and changed files: [file_path](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/file_path)
