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.
