Will it include every single commit in the final report?

No, the skill intelligently filters out 'noise' like internal refactoring, test updates, and administrative commits to keep the user-facing log focused on value.

Does it support specific date ranges for updates?

Absolutely. You can request changelogs for specific timeframes, such as 'the last 7 days', or between specific git tags and version numbers.

Can I customize the output format of the changelog?

Yes, you can provide a custom style guide or reference an existing CHANGELOG.md file to ensure the generated output matches your project's specific branding and formatting.

How does it handle technical jargon in commits?

The skill uses AI to interpret the underlying intent of your git commits and translates them into plain language suitable for end-users and non-technical stakeholders.
