# Write a Changelog A changelog tells users what changed and whether to upgrade. You add one in the standard format and keep it honest. ## Before you start Read `.agents/ship.md`. ## Steps 1. **Use Keep a Changelog format:** a top `## [Unreleased]`, then released versions newest-first, each with `Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed` as needed. 2. **Seed from git history** if starting fresh, but write for humans: group by what a user cares about, not raw commits. 3. **Keep Unreleased current** as you work, so cutting a release is just renaming the section to the version and date. 4. Link versions to their diff or compare URLs. ## Done when `CHANGELOG.md` exists in Keep a Changelog format with an Unreleased section, and `cut-a-release` can turn it into release notes.
