Changelog Conventions

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:generatortype:review
How The Lossless Group writes and structures changelog/ entries across all repos (projects, true monorepos, pseudomonorepos). Use whenever shipping or pushing a coherent chunk of work, when scaffolding a new repo's changelog/ directory, when authoring a product release message, when the user says "log this", "write a changelog", or "ship note", or when reviewing a changelog/ file. Encodes the strict frontmatter (publish, lede, ISO dates), filename pattern, "it exists" priority, and the show-don't-enforce ethos.

From the source SKILL.md

Every Lossless repo at every level (project, true monorepo, pseudomonorepo) should have a changelog/ directory at the root, parallel to context-v/. Entries are written when meaningful chunks of work ship — or at least when they push.

What this skill does

Changelog Conventions is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/changelog-conventions/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever shipping or pushing a coherent chunk of work, when scaffolding a new repo's changelog/ directory, when authoring a product release message, when the user says "log this", "write a changelog", or "ship note", or when reviewing a changelog/ file. Encodes the strict frontmatter (publish, lede, ISO dates), filename pattern, "it exists" priority, and the show-don't-enforce ethos.

Who uses this skill

The Changelog Conventions Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
