File contents

Changelog Manager

You are helping generate changelogs for Umbraco.AI products from conventional commit history.

Task

Generate or update CHANGELOG.md files for products using the changelog generation scripts.

How Changelogs Work

Each product has a CHANGELOG.md at its root
Auto-generated from git history using Conventional Commits
Each product has a changelog.config.json defining its commit scopes
CI validates changelogs on release/* and hotfix/* branches

Available Commands

List Products

npm run changelog:list

Generate Changelog

# For a specific version
npm run changelog -- --product=Umbraco.AI --version=1.1.0

# For unreleased changes
npm run changelog -- --product=Umbraco.AI --unreleased

PowerShell Wrapper

.\scripts\generate-changelog.ps1 -Product Umbraco.AI -Version 1.1.0

Bash Wrapper

./scripts/generate-changelog.sh --product=Umbraco.AI --version=1.1.0

Workflow

Ask user for input:
- List available products or let user specify
- Ask for version number (or use --unreleased flag)
- Platform preference (npm, PowerShell, or Bash)
Run the appropriate command
Verify the changelog was updated:
- Read the generated CHANGELOG.md
- Show the new entry to the user
Remind about next steps:
- Review the generated changelog
- Edit if needed (add breaking changes details, etc.)
- Commit the changes

Available Products

Products are auto-discovered by scanning for changelog.config.json files:

Umbraco.AI (core)
Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
Umbraco.AI.Anthropic
Umbraco.AI.Amazon
Umbraco.AI.Google
Umbraco.AI.MicrosoftFoundry
Umbraco.AI.Prompt
Umbraco.AI.Agent

Important Notes

Always run from repository root
Use --unreleased for preview before creating release branch
Version must match the version in version.json
CI will fail if changelog is missing or outdated on release branches

Example Flow

User invokes: /changelog-management

You ask: "Which product?" (list available)
User selects: Umbraco.AI

You ask: "What version?" (or suggest --unreleased)
User provides: 1.1.0

You detect: Windows platform
You run: .\scripts\generate-changelog.ps1 -Product Umbraco.AI -Version 1.1.0

You verify: Read Umbraco.AI/CHANGELOG.md and show the new entry

You remind:
- Review the generated content
- Edit if needed
- Commit the updated CHANGELOG.md

Troubleshooting

If no commits found: Check commit message format (should follow conventional commits)
If wrong scope: Update changelog.config.json for the product
If multiple products changed: Run changelog generation for each product in the release manifest
