## Task: Update the CHANGES.md Changelog File
You need to review the latest commits and maintain the changelog file (CHANGES.md) with meaningful changes.
Use the changelog skill to load the detailed changelog maintenance instructions.
**Important**: The last processed commit is: ${{ steps.last_commit.outputs.sha || 'not set - analyze commits from the last documented version in CHANGES.md' }}
Use `git log ${{ steps.last_commit.outputs.sha }}..HEAD --oneline` to see commits since the last changelog update (if the commit SHA is available).
If you find changes that need documenting, update CHANGES.md and create a pull request with:
- Title: "Update changelog: <super short summary>"
Example: "Update changelog: Add gn text object, fix visual mode issues"
- Body: Brief summary of what was added
# Allow Claude to use git, GitHub CLI, and web access for checking releases and tickets
