Classify every PR merged since the last release tag into a Keep a Changelog bucket, then write the

[Unreleased]

section of

CHANGELOG.md

. The bar is exhaustive — every merged PR accounted for, none dropped, none doubled.

Cutting the release itself →
```
jackin-release
```
(it runs this skill as its notes step).

Find the boundary.

LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)

; if none, start from the initial commit (

git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

).

TAG_DATE=$(git log -1 --format=%aI "$LAST_TAG")

.

Done when you hold the boundary commit and its date.

Gather merged PRs.

gh pr list --state merged --base main --search "merged:>$TAG_DATE" --json number,title,labels,mergedAt

.

Done when every PR merged after the tag is in the list.

Classify each. Sort by Conventional Commits prefix and label:
Prefix / label Bucket
feat:
/
feature
Added
fix:
/
bug
Fixed
security:
Security
refactor:
,
chore:
,
docs:

ci:
,
build:
Changed
deprecate:
Deprecated
remove:
Removed
no match Changed (default)
Strip the prefix from the title; capitalize the first word (
```
feat: add TUI launcher
```
→
```
Add TUI launcher
```
).
Done when every PR sits in exactly one bucket.
Catch ungrouped commits.
```
git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges
```
; for each,
```
gh pr list --state merged --search "<sha>"
```
. Commits with no PR land under Ungrouped commits.
Done when every non-merge commit since the tag is matched to a PR or listed.
Write
[Unreleased]
. Keep a Changelog format: one section per non-empty bucket, each entry linking its PR (
```
[#N](…/pull/N)
```
). Replace the existing
```
[Unreleased]
```
block (between
```
## [Unreleased]
```
and the next
```
## [
```
) — ask before overwriting entries an operator already edited. Keep the
```

```
marker intact.
Done when
```
CHANGELOG.md
```
carries every merged PR under the right bucket, empty buckets omitted, and the marker survives.
Present for review. Show the section; let the operator re-classify or reword. Do not proceed to a release until approved.

Safe to re-run: reads

CHANGELOG.md

fresh each time, asks before overwriting existing entries, fetches PR data live from GitHub.

Dropping a PR that has no conventional-commit prefix — it defaults to Changed, never omitted.
Listing an empty bucket ("no Removed entries" is noise — drop the section).
Forgetting the PR link in each entry.
Overwriting an operator-edited
```
[Unreleased]
```
without asking.
