changelog-summary

Walk the repo's CHANGELOG.md and produce a 2-3 sentence summary of changes since the last release tag.

Steps

  1. Find the last release tag:
git describe --tags --abbrev=0
  1. Read the changelog:
cat CHANGELOG.md
  1. Identify the section for the most recent release and summarize it in 2-3 sentences. Highlight breaking changes first, then notable features, then bug fixes.

Constraints

  • Read-only. Do not push, do not modify files, do not call any network endpoint.
  • If CHANGELOG.md is missing, report that and stop.
