Ask Claude to Generate a Changelog Entry from Your Git Diff
Keeping a changelog is the first thing that slips when you're moving fast. Claude can write the entry for you straight from your git diff — no more staring at a blank CHANGELOG.md.
git diff main..HEAD | claude "Write a changelog entry for this diff in Keep a Changelog format"
Claude groups changes into the correct ### Added, ### Changed, ### Fixed, and ### Removed sections automatically. It understands conventional commit messages and can infer intent from the actual code changes, not just commit messages.
You can also scope it to a single commit:
git show | claude "Write a brief changelog entry for this commit in Keep a Changelog format"
For a release workflow, combine it with a version bump prompt:
git diff v1.3.0..HEAD | claude "Write a CHANGELOG.md entry for version 1.4.0, today's date is $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
Claude will format the date correctly, group entries logically, and keep the language concise and user-facing rather than technical.
Never stare at a blank changelog again — let your diffs do the talking.

The /security-review command scans your uncommitted changes for injection vectors, auth gaps, hardcoded secrets, and other common vulnerabilities.
The SessionStart hook fires when any session begins or resumes, making it ideal for loading environment variables and running one-time setup scripts.
Ask Claude to write property-based tests for your functions using fast-check — it identifies the mathematical invariants in your code and generates tests that cover inputs you'd never enumerate by hand.
