name: update-changelog description: Updates notes/changelog.md based on git history. Use when user says "update changelog", "changelog entry", "release version", "release X.Y.Z", or runs /update-changelog.

Update Changelog

Analyze git history since last changelog update and draft entries for notes/changelog.md.

Quick Start

git log -1 --format="%H" -- notes/changelog.md  # baseline
git log <hash>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges       # commits
git diff <hash>..HEAD --name-only                # files

Draft entries → get approval → add to [Latest additions] section.

What to Include

User-facing:

  • New commands, features, UI changes
  • Bug fixes users would notice
  • Tool/integration improvements

Major technical:

  • Architecture changes
  • New integrations or services
  • Performance improvements
  • Security updates

Exclude:

  • CLAUDE.md, README.md, CONTRIBUTION.md
  • Minor refactoring, code cleanup
  • Dev tooling config (ruff, mypy)
  • Test-only changes, skills

Entry Format

**Added:**
• Feature (what it does for users)

**Changed:**
• Improvement description

Style Guide

Length: 1-2 lines max. If longer, split or simplify.

Patterns:

  • Feature: Feature name: what it does for users
  • Command: /command to do X
  • Rename: Renamed /old → /new
  • Tech context: (optional detail) at end

Start with:

  • Noun (feature name)
  • Verb (Support, Improve)
  • Command (/name)

Avoid:

  • "Added support for..." → just "Support for..."
  • Implementation-only descriptions
  • Entries over 2 lines

Bullets: Always use (not -)

Release Version

When user says "release X.Y.Z":

  1. Move [Latest additions] content to new **[X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD** section
  2. Update version in:
    • pyproject.toml
    • letta_bot/__init__.py
  3. Leave [Latest additions] empty with **Added:** and **Changed:** placeholders
