Adding a Changelog to Claude Code

The author implemented a CHANGELOG.md system in their large project to serve simultaneously as project history and user-facing release notes.
Their prompt for Claude requires that whenever a user-visible change is completed, an entry must be added to the Unreleased section of the root CHANGELOG.md, categorized by Added / Changed / Fixed. The writing should target non-technical readers, describing only what users can see or do while skipping purely internal refactoring. The author also instructs Claude to read recent history first before backfilling completed items into this section.
