Is the Changelog Generator skill free?

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

What is the Changelog Generator SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Changelog Generator?

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 Generator 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.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 4991477

Ran it on 9 synthetic commits mixing feat/fix/security/refactor/test/chore: it correctly bucketed by impact, rewrote 'fix(notifications): correct badge count off-by-one' into plain English, and silently dropped the refactor/test/chore noise, exactly as advertised. An unguided pass kept the internal-only commits and stayed in git-log phrasing. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "Changelog Generator".)

What Changelog Generator does

Scans commits over a date range or between version tags, buckets them into features/improvements/fixes/breaking-changes/security, rewrites developer-speak into customer language, and drops internal noise (refactors, tests, chores). Triggers on 'changelog', 'release notes', 'what changed', or 'product updates'.
