Built two temp git repos (isolated HOME) with a tag plus commits and ran the skill's commands directly. git describe/git log with the skill's format string produced the documented pipe-delimited rows; I verified both branches: a two-author repo yields the multi-author table with an Author column, a one-author repo collapses to the single-author layout, and the git show --stat detail command works. Baseline (git log --oneline) gave bare hash+subject with no date/author/tag header; the skill produces an aligned markdown table plus an interactive drill-down step — a concrete, observed improvement. No external scripts referenced, no security smells.

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 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Last Tag does

Runs git to find the most recent tag and lists every commit since it as a formatted markdown table, switching between single-author and multi-author column layouts automatically. Triggers when the user asks what changed since the last release, wants commits since the last tag, or asks what is new / unreleased. After the table it offers an interactive prompt to show full git show --stat details for all or a specific commit.

How to install Last Tag

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/umputun/cc-thingz.git /tmp/last-tag-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/last-tag-src/plugins/release-tools/skills/last-tag ~/.claude/skills/last-tag
# Self-contained: no external scripts, no deps beyond git. Uses Bash + AskUserQuestion.
# Plugin-marketplace alternative: /plugin marketplace add umputun/cc-thingz ; /plugin install release-tools
# Must be run inside a git repo that has at least one tag.

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