changelog-generator
Convert a git log, commit list, or release notes into a polished, user-facing changelog. Use when writing release notes, generating a CHANGELOG.md entry, or documenting what changed in a version. Produces a structured changelog section with version header, categorised changes, and migration notes. For an already-curated change list use changelog-writer instead.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill changelog-generator --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
