## What it does

The command inspects the target directory for existing changelog files, git status, and CI configurations such as `.github`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`, or `Jenkinsfile`. It uses Claude Code tools `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, and `Bash` to inspect files and execute shell probes.

Depending on provided arguments, the workflow implements changelog generation rules, sets up semantic versioning integration, and creates format verification tests. It also organizes error reporting and regression testing pipelines to keep release notes structured.

If your directory lacks git or CI configuration files, the command will flag their absence, so prepare the target repository beforehand.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command testing/test-changelog-automation
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/test-changelog-automation.md` — Call it with /test-changelog-automation. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/test-changelog-automation.md` — Call it with /prompts:test-changelog-automation. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/test-changelog-automation.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/test-changelog-automation.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/testing/test-changelog-automation.md

## When to use it
- configure automated changelog updates during releases
- add changelog format and consistency checks to CI/CD pipelines
- integrate semantic versioning validation into release steps
- set up regression testing for release note history

## Example prompts
- /test-changelog-automation --ci-integration
- /test-changelog-automation --validation
- /test-changelog-automation --workflow-demo

# Test Changelog Automation

Automate changelog testing workflow with comprehensive CI integration: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Automation Context

- Changelog files: !`find . -name "CHANGELOG*" -o -name "changelog*" | head -1 || echo "No changelog detected"`
- CI system: !`find . -name ".github" -o -name ".gitlab-ci.yml" -o -name "Jenkinsfile" | head -1 || echo "No CI detected"`
- Version control: !`git status >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Git repository" || echo "No git repository"`
- Release process: Analysis of existing release automation and versioning

## Task

Implement comprehensive changelog automation with testing and validation workflows:

**Automation Type**: Use $ARGUMENTS to focus on changelog automation, workflow demonstration, CI integration, or validation testing

**Changelog Automation Framework**:

1. **Automation Setup** - Configure changelog generation, setup version control integration, implement automated updates, design validation rules
2. **Workflow Integration** - Design CI/CD integration, configure automated triggers, implement validation checks, optimize execution performance
3. **Testing Strategy** - Create changelog validation tests, implement format verification, design content validation, setup regression testing
4. **Quality Assurance** - Configure automated formatting, implement consistency checks, setup content validation, optimize maintenance workflows
5. **Validation Framework** - Design automated validation rules, implement compliance checking, configure error reporting, optimize feedback loops
6. **CI Integration** - Setup automated execution, configure deployment triggers, implement notification systems, optimize pipeline performance

**Advanced Features**: Automated release note generation, semantic versioning integration, automated documentation updates, compliance validation.

**Quality Metrics**: Changelog accuracy, automation reliability, validation effectiveness, maintenance efficiency.

**Output**: Complete changelog automation with testing workflows, CI integration, validation rules, and maintenance procedures.
