# Update Changelog

## Overview

The `update_changelog` tool automatically updates the CHANGELOG.md file with the PR changes. It can be invoked manually by commenting on any PR:

    /update_changelog

## Example usage

## Configuration options

Under the section `pr_update_changelog`, the configuration file contains options to customize the 'update changelog' tool:

- `push_changelog_changes`: whether to push the changes to CHANGELOG.md, or just publish them as a comment. Default is false (publish as comment).
- `extra_instructions`: Optional extra instructions to the tool. For example: "Use the following structure: ..."
- `add_pr_link`: whether the model should try to add a link to the PR in the changelog. Default is true.
- `skip_ci_on_push`: whether the commit message (when `push_changelog_changes` is true) will include the term "[skip ci]", preventing CI tests to be triggered on the changelog commit. Default is true.
