- Generate changelog using git-cliff, optionally bump version tag
- context:
- fork
- agent:
- general-purpose
Generate or update CHANGELOG.md using git-cliff based on conventional commits.
Action: $ARGUMENTS
If no action was specified, determine the workflow by asking the user.
Current State
Branch and status: !git status -sb
Recent commits: !git log --oneline -10
Latest tag: !git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "No tags yet"
Unpushed commits: !git log --oneline @{u}..HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "No upstream or no unpushed commits"
Working directory: !git status --porcelain | head -5 || echo "Clean"
Unreleased changes preview: !git-cliff --unreleased 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "No unreleased changes or git-cliff not configured"
Pre-flight Check
If uncommitted changes exist (other than CHANGELOG.md), warn the user and ask whether to continue or abort.
If no conventional commits since last tag, inform user and stop.
Actions
preview: Show unreleased changes with git-cliff --unreleased. Report summary and stop.
generate: Run git-cliff -o CHANGELOG.md, show diff with git diff CHANGELOG.md, commit with message docs: update changelog.
release:
- Analyze unreleased commits to identify types of changes (breaking, features, fixes, docs, etc.)
- Check git-cliff recommendation:
git-cliff --bump --bumped-version - Recommend version bump level with reasoning (major/minor/patch) and show proposed version
- Ask user to confirm or override the bump level
- Generate changelog:
git-cliff --bump -o CHANGELOG.md - Show diff, commit:
docs: update changelog for v<VERSION> - Create annotated tag:
git tag -a v<VERSION> -m "Release v<VERSION>"
Summary
Report changelog diff summary, version change (if releasing), and next step:
- If committed: "Ready to push with
git push" - If released: "Ready to push with
git push && git push --tags"
