Generate a changelog entry for a specific week and prepend it to documentation/changelog.md.

Input

$ARGUMENTS should be a Monday date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. 2025-03-03). If empty, default to the most recent past Monday.

Steps

  1. Parse the date: Determine the Monday date from $ARGUMENTS or calculate the previous Monday.
  2. Confirm with user: Show the target week (Monday to Sunday) and ask the user to confirm before proceeding.
  3. Get commits: Run git log for commits between that Monday 12:00 UTC and the following Monday 12:00 UTC:
    git log --oneline --format="%H %s" --after="<monday>T12:00:00Z" --before="<next-monday>T12:00:00Z" origin/main
    
  4. Filter commits: Keep only commits with feat: or fix: prefixes. Discard chore: and everything else.
  5. Match commits to PRs: For each commit, extract the PR number from (#N) in the commit message. If not found, run gh pr list --search "<sha>" --state merged --json number,title to find the PR.
  6. Read PRs and linked issues: For each PR:
    • Run gh pr view <N> --comments to read the PR body and comments
    • Extract Refs #N references to find linked issues
    • Run gh issue view <N> --comments to read linked issues and their comments
  7. Watch demo videos: If any issue or PR comments contain video attachments, invoke the /demo-video-watcher skill on them to understand what the feature does.
  8. Generate the entry: Create a markdown entry in this format:
## Week of <DD Mon YYYY>

### Features
- **Short title** -- User-facing description.

### Fixes
- **Short title** -- User-facing description.

---

Guidelines for writing entries:

  • Write from a user's perspective — what changed for them, not implementation details
  • Keep descriptions to one sentence
  • NEVER link to GitHub issues or PRs — the changelog is user-facing documentation, not a developer log
  • Omit the ### Features or ### Fixes section if there are none that week
  • Sort entries alphabetically by title within each section
  • If a commit included an update to /documentation, link to the updated documentation page.
  1. Insert the entry: Use the Edit tool to insert the generated entry immediately after the <!-- changelog-insert-marker --> line in documentation/changelog.md.
  2. Show the result: Display the generated entry to the user for review. Do not commit — let the user decide.
