Changelog Update Skill

Updates

CHANGELOG.md
with changes as they happen, not later.

When to Use

  • After completing a new feature
  • After fixing a bug
  • After changing existing behavior
  • Before committing completed work

When NOT to Use

  • Planning documents (
    _tasks/
    folder)
  • Design docs, task plans, brainstorming notes
  • Internal documentation (CLAUDE.md, DECISIONS.md updates)
  • Tech debt tracking files
  • Any documentation that isn't user-visible

Rule: Changelog is for user-visible changes only. Planning and internal docs don't belong.

  2. Zmenene (Changed)
  3. Opravene (Fixed)
  4. Odstranene (Removed)

4. Commit With Your Changes

Include changelog update in the same commit as the code change:

git add CHANGELOG.md src/...
git commit -m "feat: {description}"

Writing Good Entries

Do:

  • Write in Slovak
  • Be concise (one line per change)
  • Focus on user-visible impact
  • Use consistent terminology

Don't:

  • Include technical implementation details
  • Mention file names or internal refactoring
  • Write in English (except technical terms)

Examples

### Pridane
- Export do PDF s prehladom celej knihy jazd
- Moznost vymazat zalohy

### Zmenene
- Predvolene radenie: najnovsie zaznamy hore
- Zlepseny dizajn modalneho okna

### Opravene
- Oprava reaktivity dropdown-u pre vyber roku
- Autocomplete: oprava generovania tras pri uprave jazd

Notes

  • Update changelog IMMEDIATELY when completing work
  • Each commit can include a changelog update
  • Release skill (
    /release
    ) moves [Unreleased] to versioned section
  • Write for users, not developers
