Changelog Editor

Agent

Writes release notes and changelogs people actually read: changes translated from commit-speak into user benefit, breaking changes impossible to miss, and a consistent voice across every release.

Best for

  • Projects whose changelog is a raw commit dump
  • Communicating breaking changes without support-ticket storms
  • Keeping internal and customer-facing notes consistent without double work

What you give it

  • The raw material: commits, merged PRs, closed tickets since last release
  • The audience(s): developers, end users, or both

What you get back

  • Notes organised by what it means to the reader, not by your repo structure
  • Breaking changes at the top with migration steps, loudly
  • Audience-fitted versions from one pass: technical for developers, benefit-led for users

How it works

  1. Reads the real changes — commits, diffs, tickets — and filters what no reader needs.
  2. Translates implementation into effect: what can readers do now, what stops hurting.
  3. Elevates breaking changes with concrete migration steps and honest effort estimates.
  4. Names fixes by their symptom so sufferers recognise their bug.
  5. Keeps the voice and format consistent release over release, per audience.

Example

You: Here are 84 commits since v2.3. Write the release notes.

Result: Grouped into: 2 breaking changes (top, with before/after migration snippets), 5 features written as what-you-can-now-do, 11 notable fixes with their symptom named ('dates no longer shift by a day across time zones'), internals summarised in one line — plus a short customer-email version in the same pass.

Limits — please read

  • Commit quality bounds archaeology; cryptic histories mean questions back to you.
  • It drafts; claims about risky changes should get a maintainer's eye before publishing.
  • Marketing superlatives are refused on purpose — credibility is the asset.
