# Trigger
"Apply the git-cliff release changelog capability pack for this release."
# Required output
1) Conventional commit compliance report
2) Proposed release version and rationale
3) Generated changelog sections
4) Tag/release execution checklistThis capability pack is pinned to documentation verified on 2026-04-11.
This skill gives agents a deterministic release process that produces readable changelogs without manual rewrite churn.
SKILL.md.SKILL.md content as reusable workflow instructions..gemini/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md or .agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md where supported..cursor/rules/*.mdc adapter for project rules.Issue: Changelog section grouping is noisy
Fix: tighten commit scopes and skip bots/merge-only commits.
Issue: Wrong version bump recommendation
Fix: map feat/fix/breaking conventions explicitly in config.
Issue: Release notes differ from changelog
Fix: derive both from same generated artifact path.

| Safety notes | ✓May produce commands or configuration for live infrastructure, CI, releases, or indexing; test changes in staging or dry-run mode first. Use least-privilege API tokens and review workflow, deploy, DNS, cache, and release changes before applying them to production. | ✓This skill plans release publication; it must not create tags, publish releases, or push version bumps without explicit maintainer approval. Security and breaking-change entries can affect downstream consumers; require owner review before public release. Automated changelog tools may include contributor handles or internal ticket IDs; scrub before publishing. Do not run release scripts or CI publish workflows from unreviewed fork contexts. | ✓Installs from a downloaded package and may run local commands or scaffold files as part of the workflow; review the package and any generated changes before applying. |
| Privacy notes | ✓Inputs can include repository metadata, workflow logs, deployment settings, domain names, analytics exports, and service configuration. Redact tokens, account IDs, private URLs, customer data, and proprietary deployment details before sharing generated reports or prompts. | ✓Changelog drafts may expose unreleased features, customer names, internal URLs, and security fix details. GitHub compare views and release automation logs can include private repository metadata. Redact embargoed vulnerability details and internal-only migration notes from public release text. Keep registry tokens, npm credentials, and signing keys out of prompts and generated notes. | ✓Operates on your local project files and any context you share in the session; review what you expose before sharing — nothing is sent beyond the model unless a step calls an external service. |
