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

1. 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)
