# Wiki Changelog Generate structured changelogs from git history. ## Source Repository Resolution (MUST DO FIRST) Before generating any changelog, you MUST determine the source repository context: 1. **Check for git remote**: Run `git remote get-url origin` to detect if a remote exists 2. **Ask the user**: _"Is this a local-only repository, or do you have a source repository URL (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps)?"_ - Remote URL provided → store as `REPO_URL`, use **linked citations** for commit hashes and file references - Local-only → use plain commit hashes and file references 3. **Do NOT proceed** until source repo context is resolved ## When to Activate - User asks "what changed recently", "generate a changelog", "summarize commits" - User wants to understand recent development activity ## Procedure 1. Examine git log (commits, dates, authors, messages) 2. Group by time period: daily (last 7 days), weekly (older) 3. Classify each commit: Features (🆕), Fixes (🐛), Refactoring (🔄), Docs (📝), Config (🔧), Dependencies (📦), Breaking (⚠️) 4. Generate concise user-facing descriptions using project terminology ## Constraints - Focus on user-facing changes - Merge related commits into coherent descriptions - Use project terminology from README - Highlight breaking changes prominently with migration notes - When `REPO_URL` is available, link commit hashes: `[abc1234](REPO_URL/commit/abc1234)` and changed files: `[file_path](REPO_URL/blob/BRANCH/file_path)`
