manage-changelog

Maintain a project changelog following the Keep a Changelog format. This skill covers creating a new changelog, categorizing entries, managing the [Unreleased] section, and promoting entries to versioned sections upon release. Adapts to R convention (NEWS.md) when detected.

If no changelog exists, create one with the standard header:

Expected: Changelog file located or created with proper header and an Unreleased section.

Maintain a changelog following Keep a Changelog format. Covers entry categorization (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security), version section management, and unreleased tracking. Use when starting a new project that needs a changelog, adding entries after completing features or fixes, preparing a release by promoting Unreleased entries to a versioned section, or converting a free-form changelog to Keep a Changelog format.
