changeset (alchemy-cli) is a skill that creates a changeset file describing user-facing changes and a semver bump type for the current branch.
About
This skill creates a changeset file documenting user-facing changes on the current branch for the @alchemy/cli package. It asks for or infers the semver bump type, inspects the git diff to understand what changed, and writes a summary focused on user-visible behavior. It then generates a kebab-case markdown file under .changeset in the exact changesets format. It enforces one changeset per logical change and never uses a major bump without explicit confirmation.

Files
Create Changeset
Create a changeset file describing user-facing changes for the current branch.
Steps
1. Determine the bump type. If not provided by the user, ask which applies:
patch— bug fix or small tweakminor— new feature, command, or flagmajor— breaking change (removed/renamed command, changed output format)
2. Inspect recent changes. Run git diff main...HEAD --stat and read changed files to understand what changed.
3. Write a summary. Compose a 1-2 sentence description of the change from a user's perspective. Focus on what changed and why it matters, not implementation details.
4. Generate the changeset file. Create .changeset/<kebab-case-name>.md with this exact format:
---
"@alchemy/cli": <bump-type>
---
<summary>The kebab-case name should be descriptive (e.g., add-portfolio-command, fix-json-output). Do not use random words.
5. Confirm. Show the user the file path and contents for review.
Rules
- One changeset per logical change. If a PR has multiple independent changes, create multiple files.
- Never use
majorwithout explicit user confirmation. - The summary must describe user-visible behavior, not code changes.
- Do not modify existing changeset files unless asked.

What does the changeset skill do?
It inspects your branch's git diff, picks a patch, minor, or major bump, and writes a .changeset markdown file describing the user-facing change for @alchemy/cli.
Will it use a major bump automatically?
No. The docs state it never uses major without explicit user confirmation.
