Is the Changelog skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Changelog SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Changelog?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Changelog with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 10, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 5f1fcb4

Ran it on a real 3-commit test repo: it correctly linked the PR-tagged commit to /pull/101 and the two plain commits to their commit hashes, reproducing the exact `- [hash](url) summary` format the ai-devkit project uses in its own CHANGELOG.md — baseline produced only vague, unlinked bullets.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 5/5

What Changelog does

Finds the latest git tag, walks every commit since then, and writes one concise Unreleased line per commit into CHANGELOG.md, linking each to its PR when detectable or its commit hash otherwise. Triggers when a user asks to update the changelog or release notes from recent commits.

How to install Changelog

git clone https://github.com/codeaholicguy/ai-devkit
cd ai-devkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/changelog ~/.claude/skills/changelog

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Changelog
