React Router Release Notes Prep
remix-run/react-router
Polishes pending React Router change files before the versioning scripts run, and decides whether a long-form What's Changed section is warranted.
A skill your agent uses when the user says 'generate changelog', 'update changelog', 'what changed', 'release notes', 'write changelog', or needs a formatted CHANGELOG.md from git commit history.

What it does
Memstack Development Changelog Generator is an agent skill from cwinvestments/memstack. Use when the user says 'generate changelog', 'update changelog', 'what changed', 'release notes', 'write changelog', or needs a formatted CHANGELOG.md from git commit history. Do NOT use for diary entries, git log viewing, or commit message writing.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Commit messages. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Structured skill framework for Claude Code. 130 skills, persistent memory, TokenStack compression, localhost dashboard with 3-agent runner, real-time streaming, MCP tools. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says generate changelog
- Update changelog
- Write changelog
- Needs a formatted CHANGELOG.md from git commit history
Example prompts
- “generate changelog”
- “update changelog”
- “what changed”
- “/memstack-development-changelog-generator”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00370ce. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
keepachangelog.comsemver.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Memstack Development Changelog Generator loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Changelog Generator: Generating changelog...
Produces a formatted CHANGELOG.md from git commit history, grouped by type and ready for release.
Activation
| Trigger | Status |
|---|---|
| User says "generate changelog" or "update changelog" | ACTIVE |
| User says "what changed" or "release notes" | ACTIVE |
| User says "write changelog" or "changelog since" | ACTIVE |
| User wants to view git log only | NOT this skill: use git commands directly |
| User wants a diary entry | NOT this skill: use Diary |
Context Guard
- Do NOT use for session logging (that's Diary)
- Do NOT use for commit message writing (that's a git workflow)
- Do NOT use for PR descriptions (that's a git workflow)
- This skill ONLY produces CHANGELOG.md content from existing commits
Steps
Step 1: Determine the range
Ask the user or infer from context:
| Parameter | Default | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Since tag/date | Last tag or last 7 days | v3.3.0, 2026-03-01 |
| Until | HEAD | v3.4.0, HEAD |
| Format | Keep a Changelog | Conventional, custom |
# Find the last tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "No tags found"
# Get commits since last tag (or date)
git log --oneline --no-merges $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~50")..HEADStep 2: Categorize commits
Parse each commit message and classify by prefix:
| Prefix | Category | Changelog Section |
|---|---|---|
feat: / feature: | Features | ### Added |
fix: / bugfix: | Bug Fixes | ### Fixed |
docs: | Documentation | ### Changed |
refactor: | Refactoring | ### Changed |
perf: | Performance | ### Changed |
test: | Tests | (omit unless user requests) |
chore: / build: / ci: | Maintenance | (omit unless user requests) |
BREAKING CHANGE or !: | Breaking | ### Breaking Changes |
| No prefix | Uncategorized | ### Other |

Step 3: Generate the changelog entry
Follow Keep a Changelog format:
## [version] - YYYY-MM-DD
### Breaking Changes
- Description of breaking change ([commit-hash])
### Added
- New feature description ([commit-hash])
### Fixed
- Bug fix description ([commit-hash])
### Changed
- Refactor/improvement description ([commit-hash])Writing rules:
- Rewrite technical commit messages into user-facing language
- Group related commits into single entries where sensible
- Lead with the impact, not the implementation ("Users can now..." not "Added handler for...")
- Include short commit hash as reference
- Skip merge commits, version bumps, and trivial chores unless requested
- Order: Breaking Changes > Added > Fixed > Changed > Removed > Other
Step 4: Handle existing CHANGELOG.md
# Check if CHANGELOG.md exists
ls CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null- If exists: prepend the new entry after the title line, before existing entries
- If not exists: create with header:
# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
## [version] - YYYY-MM-DD
...Step 5: Present for review
Changelog entry for [version] ([date]):
- [N] features added
- [N] bugs fixed
- [N] changes
- [N] breaking changes
Ready to write to CHANGELOG.md? (prepend / overwrite / clipboard only)Disambiguation
- "generate changelog" / "update changelog" / "release notes" = Changelog Generator
- "save diary" / "log session" = Diary (not Changelog Generator)
- "what did we do" / "last session" = Echo (not Changelog Generator)
- "git log" / "show commits" = Direct git commands (not Changelog Generator)
