Does it support languages other than English?

Yes, Changelogator features specific localization for French and will attempt to match the language of your existing CHANGELOG.md or commit history.

How does Changelogator decide which version bump to suggest?

It follows standard Semver rules: any breaking change triggers a Major bump, any new feature (feat) triggers a Minor bump, and bug fixes or patches trigger a Patch bump.

What commit format works best with this skill?

It is optimized for a format including an emoji, type, and optional scope (e.g., '✨ feat(auth): add login'). However, it includes fallback logic for unrecognized formats.

Does this skill automatically overwrite my CHANGELOG.md file?

No. By default, Changelogator outputs the changelog in the chat for your review. It will only write to a file if you explicitly instruct it to do so.
