release-notes

release-notes is a cursor rule for coding agents from thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating changelog entries and GitHub releases from a repository’s Git history. A changelog is a human-readable record of what changed between versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update or create a CHANGELOG.md, group changes by pull request or commit type, and create a GitHub release with a version.
Why use it?
It removes the need to review commits manually and organize features, fixes, breaking changes, and documentation updates before a release.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 4d ago.

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

Generate changelog entries and GitHub releases from git history.

When to Use

  • Cutting a release: You have commits ready to ship and need a changelog entry and/or GitHub release.
  • Monthly changelog update: You maintain a regular changelog cadence and need to capture everything since the last entry.
  • Retroactive changelog: An existing project has no CHANGELOG.md and you want to generate one from the full git history.

Usage

Generate a changelog entry

/release-notes changelog [repo-path]

Reads commits since the last tag, categorizes them, and prepends a new entry to CHANGELOG.md.

Create a changelog entry and GitHub release

/release-notes release [repo-path] [version]

Does everything changelog does, then creates a GitHub release via gh release create. If version is omitted, a version is suggested based on the changes detected.

Retroactively generate a full changelog

/release-notes init [repo-path]

Walks the entire tag history (or full commit history if untagged) and generates a complete CHANGELOG.md from scratch.

Procedure

Step 1 — Find the last tag or release

Run git describe --tags --abbrev=0 to find the most recent tag. If no tags exist, use the initial commit as the starting point. Cross-reference with gh release list --limit 1 to check for GitHub releases that may differ from local tags.

Step 2 — Collect commits since last tag

git log <last-tag>..HEAD --pretty=format:"%H %s" --no-merges

Parse each commit message for conventional commit prefixes (type(scope): description). Record the raw message for commits that do not follow conventional format.

Step 3 — Check merged PRs

gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>YYYY-MM-DD" --json number,title,labels,mergedAt --limit 200

Use the date of the last tag as the cutoff. Cross-reference PR titles with commit messages to avoid duplicates. PR titles often provide cleaner descriptions than commit messages — prefer the PR title when a commit is associated with a merged PR.

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.
