How does the automated changelog generation work?

The skill analyzes commit history since the last version tag, filters for user-facing changes using conventional commit formats, and maps them to standard 'Keep a Changelog' sections.

Does it handle testing before merging?

Yes, the skill is designed to run available tests before finishing a feature or release, requiring failures to be fixed before the merge is finalized.

Does this skill support different Git workflows?

Yes, it supports Classic GitFlow, GitHub Flow, and GitLab Flow presets to match your team's specific branching strategy and target branch requirements.

What happens to branches after a task is finished?

Following standard GitFlow best practices, the skill can delete topic branches locally and remotely after finishing, provided the repository policy allows it.
