What it does

Changelog is an aeon skill: Generate a user-facing changelog from recent commits/PRs across watched repos - write it in-repo (Keep a Changelog format) or open a cross-repo changelog PR on a docs/marketing repo. Like every aeon skill it is one SKILL.md prompt file that runs unattended on your own GitHub Actions, on a schedule or when you trigger it, and sends what it finds to Telegram, Discord, Slack or email.

A changelog is not a commit log. Raw commit dumps grouped by conventional prefix are the noise anti-pattern - users can't tell what matters. This skill produces a Keep a Changelog-style summary: categorized, plain-English, breaking changes surfaced, internal churn filtered out. It runs in two modes: in-repo (write the article into this repo) or push-to (open a changelog PR on a separate marketing/docs website repo).

Input: the var setting

Every aeon skill takes one optional text input, var, set in aeon.yml or typed in when you run it by hand. It picks the target or the mode for that run.

Selects the mode and target:

  • empty → in-repo changelog across every repo in memory/watched-repos.md.
  • owner/repo (bare slug) → in-repo changelog for that single repo only.
  • push-to:owner/website-repo → cross-repo mode: publish the product's merged PRs as a changelog PR on owner/website-repo (product repo comes from memory/docs-sync.md).
  • owner/product->owner/website (arrow form) → cross-repo mode with both product and website repos given explicitly.

What it needs

Besides the model you connected to aeon, Changelog uses the following. Add secrets as GitHub Actions secrets on your aeon repo, or in Aeon Connect.

  • GH_GLOBAL - optional secret, unlocks more data or features

Install and run it

Easiest: open Aeon Connect, sign in with GitHub and turn on Changelog. No clone, no terminal. To add it to an existing aeon repo from a shell, run:

bin/add-skill aeonfun/aeon changelog

Then switch it on in aeon.yml (the default schedule is filled in):

skills:
  changelog: { enabled: true, schedule: "0 16 * * *", var: "" }
