What this skill does
# Changelog Orchestrator
## Overview
This skill turns raw repo activity (merged PRs, issues, commits, optional Slack updates) into a publishable changelog draft and prepares a branch/PR for review.
## Prerequisites
- A project config file at `.changelog-config.json` in the target repo.
- Required environment variables set (at minimum `GITHUB_TOKEN` for GitHub source).
- Git available in PATH; `gh` optional (used for PR creation if configured).
## Instructions
1. Read `.changelog-config.json` from the repo root.
2. Validate it with `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate_config.py`.
3. Decide date range:
4. Load the configured markdown template (or fall back to `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/assets/weekly-template.md`).
5. Render the final markdown using `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/render_template.py`.
6. Ensure frontmatter contains at least `date` (ISO) and `version` (SemVer if known; otherwise `0.0.0`).
7. Run deterministic checks using `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/quality_score.py`.
8. If score is below threshold:
9. Write the changelog file to the configured `output_path`.
10. Create a branch `changelog-YYYY-MM-DD`, commit with `docs: add changelog for YYYY-MM-DD`.
11. If `gh` is configured, open a PR; otherwise, print the exact commands the user should run.
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.
## Output
- A markdown changelog draft (usually `CHANGELOG.md`), plus an optional PR URL.
- A quality report (score + findings) from `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/quality_score.py`.
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
