release-note

release-note is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from d0hx4n2503/Agent-Skills. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,665 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for writing changelogs and release notes, which explain what changed in a software release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Documenting breaking changes, new backward-compatible features, and backward-compatible bug fixes.
Why use it?
It helps match release descriptions and version numbers to Semantic Versioning, a standard where major, minor, and patch numbers show the type of change.

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-note 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 9d 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.

Semantic Versioning (SemVer) Release Notes Guideline

This document defines the standard steps and rules for writing Release Notes for the project, based on Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 (semver.org).

1. Core Rules of SemVer (X.Y.Z)

Every release version must follow the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format (e.g., 1.4.2). You must increment the respective element based on the scope of changes:

  • MAJOR (X): Increment when you make incompatible API changes (Breaking changes). When MAJOR is incremented, MINOR and PATCH must be reset to 0 (e.g., 1.4.2 $\rightarrow$ 2.0.0).
  • MINOR (Y): Increment when you add functionality in a backward-compatible manner. When MINOR is incremented, PATCH must be reset to 0 (e.g., 1.4.2 $\rightarrow$ 1.5.0).
  • PATCH (Z): Increment when you make backward-compatible bug fixes without adding new features or breaking existing APIs (e.g., 1.4.2 $\rightarrow$ 1.4.3).

Note: Major version zero (0.x.x) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API should not be considered stable.

1.1. Additional Labels (Pre-release & Build Metadata)

SemVer allows appending labels to define the lifecycle of a release more precisely:

  • Pre-release: Denoted by a hyphen - immediately following the PATCH version. These versions have a lower precedence than the associated normal version and are used for drafts or testing phases.
    • Examples: 1.0.0-alpha, 1.0.0-beta.1, 1.0.0-rc.1 (Release Candidate).
    • Precedence: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0.
  • Build Metadata: Denoted by a plus sign + at the very end. Used to store commit hashes, build IDs, or timestamps. This metadata does not affect version precedence.
    • Examples: 1.0.0-beta.1+exp.sha.5114f85, 1.2.3+20260601.

2. Step-by-Step: Writing Release Notes

When preparing a new release, follow these steps:

Step 1: Categorization

List all merged tickets/PRs. Group them into clear categories (following Keep a Changelog standards):

  • Added: For new features.
  • Changed: For changes in existing functionality.
  • Deprecated: For once-stable features removed in upcoming releases.
  • Removed: For deprecated features removed in this release.
  • Fixed: For any bug fixes.
  • Security: To invite users to upgrade in case of vulnerabilities.

Changes

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.

release-note is a skill published in the GitHub repository d0hx4n2503/Agent-Skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,665 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
