Is it compatible with GitHub Actions?

Yes, the skill provides workflow templates to automate the entire release and documentation process directly within GitHub Actions.

What is the primary benefit of the Changelog Automation skill?

It removes the manual effort of writing release notes by automatically parsing structured git commits to generate a professional changelog.

Does this skill require a specific commit format?

Yes, it is designed to work best with the Conventional Commits standard (e.g., feat:, fix:, chore:) to accurately categorize changes.

How does it handle version numbering?

It uses Semantic Versioning (SemVer) logic to determine if a release should be a Major, Minor, or Patch bump based on the types of commits included.

Can I use this with existing tools like semantic-release?

Absolutely. This skill includes specific implementation patterns and configurations for semantic-release, standard-version, and git-cliff.
