Docs & Writing vs Design · both proven

changelog-generator vs vercel-composition-patterns

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work. They are in different categories, so this is a choice of job, not a head-to-head on the same job.

changelog-generator

Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.

Brief: “Refactor this React Modal component. It currently takes fourteen props, including isConfirm, isDanger, showFooter, footerAlign, hideClose, title, subtitle, icon, primaryLabel, secondaryLabel, onPrimary, onSecondary, size and children, and a dozen screens pass different combinations of them. Present the refactor as a single HTML page with the new API, the implementation, three call sites rewritten before and after, and a short note on why the new shape scales.”
