Claude 572b8acf8c Add multi-platform export generator (single source of truth) 
Make the library multi-platform without duplicating content. Each
skills/<name>/SKILL.md body remains the single source of truth; a new
generator renders platform-ready exports from it.

- scripts/build-exports.mjs — dependency-free Node generator with a PLATFORMS
  registry so new platforms (Gemini, Cursor, …) are a few lines. Ships ChatGPT
  exports at exports/chatgpt/<bundle>/<skill>/SYSTEM_PROMPT.md (172 skills),
  plus generated index READMEs. Supports --platform and --check.
- exports/ — generated ChatGPT system prompts, ready to paste into a Custom GPT.
- .github/workflows/check-generated.yml — fails a PR if exports or
  web/skills.json drift from the source skills.
- README "Works With" now documents the ready-to-use exports and regen command.
- CHANGELOG + SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD note the generated artifacts.

Raw Blame History

Changelog Generator Skill

Converts raw git commits, a diff summary, or developer release notes into a polished changelog entry — categorised, user-facing, and following Keep a Changelog conventions.

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Commits or release notes (paste git log --oneline, raw commit messages, or a description of what changed)
  • Version number (e.g. 2.4.0, v1.0.0-beta.2)
  • Release date (or "today")
  • Audience (developers using an API / end users of a product / internal team — affects language)
  • Any breaking changes (flag these explicitly if known)
  • Previous version behaviour (optional — paste the previous changelog entry or describe what is changing; needed for accurate "Changed" entries)
  • Scope (whole product / specific package or module — e.g. "payments SDK only", "iOS app", "all services")

Output Format

Follow Keep a Changelog format:

[X.Y.Z] — YYYY-MM-DD

Breaking Changes ⚠️

[Only include if there are breaking changes]

  • [Breaking change]: [What changed and what it breaks]
  • Migration required: [Specific action the user must take]

Added

  • [New feature or capability, written from the user's perspective]
  • [Another addition]

Changed

  • [Changed behaviour — what it did before vs. what it does now]
  • [Performance improvement with measurable impact if known]

Fixed

  • [Bug fixed — describe what was broken, not the fix implementation]
  • [Another fix]

Deprecated

  • [Deprecated thing] — use [replacement] instead. Will be removed in [version].

Removed

  • [Removed thing] — was deprecated in [version]

Security

  • [Security fix — describe the vulnerability class, not exploit details]

Skill guidance — do not include the following section in the delivered changelog:

Formatting Rules Applied

Language: Write for the reader, not the committer. "Add dark mode support" not "implement ThemeProvider with dark palette variant".

Breaking changes: Always call these out first with ⚠️. Include a migration path.

Bug fixes: Describe what was broken, not what was changed. "Fix crash when user has no profile picture" not "null-check avatar URL before rendering".

Granularity: Group related commits into one line. Don't list every micro-commit separately.

Tone: Active voice, imperative mood. "Add", "Fix", "Remove" — not "Added", "Fixed", "Removed".

Empty sections: Omit any section with no entries. Don't include empty ### Fixed blocks.

Quality Checks

  • Breaking changes are at the top with migration instructions
  • All entries are user-facing language (no internal variable names or implementation details)
  • Related commits are grouped into single entries (not listed individually)
  • Version and date header is correct
  • Empty sections are omitted
  • No entries start with past-tense verbs (no "Added", "Fixed", "Removed" — use "Add", "Fix", "Remove")
  • Every breaking change entry includes a specific migration action (not just "update your code")

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not include implementation details in changelog entries — users need to know what changed for them, not how the code was refactored internally
  • Do not list every micro-commit as a separate entry — related commits should be grouped into one user-facing change
  • Do not omit the migration path for breaking changes — a breaking change entry without a specific migration action forces users to read the source code
  • Do not include empty sections — a "### Fixed" section with no entries signals the template was filled in carelessly
  • Do not write breaking changes in the same casual tone as minor additions — breaking changes must be visually prominent and call out migration requirements explicitly

Usage Examples

  • "Write a changelog for version [X]" + [paste commits]
  • "Generate release notes from these commits"
  • "Turn this git log into a CHANGELOG entry"
  • "Write the CHANGELOG.md update for this release"
  • "What changed in this release?" + [paste commit list]
