Can I use my own brand voice for the changelog?

Yes, you can provide a custom style guide or reference a file like CHANGELOG_STYLE.md to ensure the output matches your specific brand tone and formatting.

Does it include every single commit in the final output?

No, the skill intelligently filters out 'noise' like refactoring, test updates, and internal documentation that doesn't provide value to the end user.

Where should I run this skill?

For optimal performance, run the Changelog Generator from the root directory of your git repository so it can access the full commit history.

Can I generate a changelog for a specific date range?

Absolutely. You can request changelogs for the past week, month, or any specific date range between commits or tags.
