Changelog Gen

Generates a categorized changelog skeleton from conventional commits since a tag or ref — Added/Changed/Fixed/Documentation/Internal sections with scope annotations preserved. Deterministic; the agent writes prose, this provides the honest skeleton from git history itself.

Changelog Gen

Release notes from the only honest source: the commit history itself.

Commands

python3 scripts/changelog_gen.py                          # since last tag
python3 scripts/changelog_gen.py --since-tag v1.2.0
python3 scripts/changelog_gen.py --since HEAD~20 --json
python3 scripts/changelog_gen.py --out CHANGELOG.md

Sections (conventional-commit mapping)

Type Section
feat Added
fix, revert Fixed
refactor, perf, style Changed
docs Documentation
test, chore, build, ci Internal

Scope annotations preserved: feat(api): add tokens -> "add tokens (api)". Non-conventional commits land in Other — visible, not silently dropped.

Pairs with

git-master (the history this reads), repo-audit (the repo hygiene gate that would flag a missing changelog workflow).
