Add changelog extension by Quratulain-bilal · Pull Request #2177 · github/spec-kit

Quratulain-bilal · 2026-04-11T09:15:13Z

Adds the Spec Changelog extension to the community catalog and README.

What it does

Auto-generates changelogs, release notes, human-readable diffs, and stakeholder notifications from spec
git history — turning silent spec evolution into visible, documented change communication.

Commands

Command	Purpose
`/speckit.changelog.generate`	Full changelog from spec history
`/speckit.changelog.release`	Release notes for a specific version
`/speckit.changelog.diff`	Human-readable diff between spec versions
`/speckit.changelog.notify`	Stakeholder notifications from changes

Changes

Added changelog entry to catalog.community.json (alphabetically between canon and ci-guard)
Added Spec Changelog row to README extensions table (alphabetically between Ship Release and Spec Critique)
Bumped catalog updated_at

Adds spec-kit-scope: effort estimation and scope tracking from spec artifacts. 4 commands: - /speckit.scope.estimate — data-driven effort estimation with three-point ranges - /speckit.scope.compare — side-by-side spec scope comparison - /speckit.scope.creep — scope creep detection via git history - /speckit.scope.budget — sprint-ready time budget generation 1 hook: after_specify (auto-estimation) Turns "how long will this take?" into a data-driven answer.

Whoops I meant please resolve conflicts ;)

Resolved merge conflicts with main (commit 236086a).

Conflicts resolved:

extensions/catalog.community.json:
- Bumped top-level updated_at to 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z.
- Kept both the catalog-ci entry (already on main) and my changelog entry — they sit in alphabetical order (catalog-ci < changelog < ci-guard).
- Preserved my created_at / updated_at (2026-04-11T18:00:00Z) on the changelog entry.
README.md: removed a duplicate Spec Reference Loader row that the merge introduced; the row already exists at its correct alphabetical position.

Verification:

python -m json.tool extensions/catalog.community.json exits 0.
No remaining conflict markers in either file.

Ready for re-review.

…tor README row, return Spec Reference Loader to original position Per Copilot review on PR github#2177: this branch is supposed to add only the Spec Changelog extension. The diff against main also showed (1) a duplicate 'scope' catalog entry, (2) a deletion of the Intelligent Agent Orchestrator README row, and (3) Spec Reference Loader moved out of alphabetical order. All three were merge artifacts and have been cleaned up here.

Thanks . that was accidental. The duplicate scope extension entry has been removed from extensions/catalog.community.json, and two README artifacts left behind by an earlier merge were also cleaned up: the Intelligent Agent Orchestrator row was restored and Spec Reference Loader was returned to its alphabetical position. The PR diff now matches the description: only the Spec Changelog catalog entry, the Spec Changelog README row, and the catalog timestamp bump. Pushed in 303f9f3.
