Terms & Conditions

1. Service Description

Diffshot is a developer tool that automatically generates visual changelogs from merged GitHub pull requests. The service provides an API and GitHub Action that, when triggered on PR merge, fetches the PR diff, generates an AI-powered summary using Anthropic Claude, renders a visual changelog card, and delivers the result to your configured Slack and/or Discord channels via webhooks.

2. Account Registration

• You must provide accurate information when creating an account
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and API keys
• You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service
• One person may not maintain more than one free account
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including API key usage

3. API Keys and Access

• API keys are provided for authenticating requests to the Diffshot API
• You are responsible for keeping your API keys secure — treat them like passwords
• Do not share API keys in public repositories, client-side code, or other insecure locations
• We reserve the right to revoke API keys that are found to be compromised or misused
• API key plaintext is shown once at creation and cannot be recovered — if lost, generate a new key

4. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to use Diffshot to:

• Generate misleading, false, or deceptive changelog content
• Spam Slack or Discord channels with automated messages beyond legitimate changelog use
• Impersonate another person or entity

• Attempt to reverse-engineer, modify, or exploit the Service
• Circumvent rate limits or abuse the API beyond normal usage

8. GitHub Integration
