release-notes

release-notes is a command for coding agents from FlorianBruniaux/claude-code-plugins. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,818 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns Git commit history and pull-request details into release notes. It can format the results as a changelog, pull-request description, or user-facing communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a software release, documenting new features and fixes, listing database migrations, or writing a release announcement.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually collect changes and rewrite technical commit messages for different audiences.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

release-notes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Release Notes Generator

Generate release notes in 3 formats from git commits for production releases.

Process

  1. Analyze Git History: Scan commits since last release tag
  2. Fetch PR Details: Get titles, descriptions via gh api
  3. Categorize Changes: Group by type (feat, fix, perf, etc.)
  4. Check Migrations: Detect database migration files
  5. Generate 3 Outputs: CHANGELOG, PR body, communication message
  6. Transform Language: Convert tech jargon to product language

Output Formats

1. CHANGELOG.md Section

## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Summary
[1-2 sentence overview of this release]

### New Features
#### [Feature Name] (#PR)
- **Description**: User-facing functionality added
- **Impact**: How it benefits users

### Bug Fixes
- **[Module]**: Description (#issue, tracking-ID)

### Technical Improvements
- [Internal improvements, refactoring, performance]

### Database Migrations
[If applicable - list migration files]

### Statistics
- PRs: X | Features: Y | Fixes: Z | Files changed: N

2. PR Release Body

Uses your project's release template:

  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/release.md
  • .github/pull_request_template_release.md
  • Or custom location specified in project config

3. Communication Announcement

Generate user-facing announcement (Slack, email, etc.):

  • Non-technical language
  • Focus on user impact
  • Readable formatting (emojis optional)

Template location examples:

  • .github/COMMUNICATION_TEMPLATE/slack-release.md
  • docs/templates/release-announcement.md

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
