moraine: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/release-notes/SKILL.md

release-notes is a skill for Claude Code from eric-tramel/moraine. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for rewriting Moraine's GitHub release notes into a consistent format. The result explains installation, user-facing changes, platform support, upgrade steps, and a cleaned-up changelog.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing notes for an existing GitHub release tag, including installation instructions, pull-request links, screenshots, platform details, upgrade guidance, and a deduplicated generated changelog.
Why use it?
It turns duplicated or commit-focused release text into notes that help readers understand what changed and whether they need to do anything after upgrading.

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 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/shoot-monitor.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

release-notes

You are rewriting a GitHub release body in moraine's house format. The input is a tag (e.g. v0.4.2); the output is an updated release body published via gh release edit <tag> --notes-file <path>.

Your goal is usage-focused, not commit-focused. A reader skimming the release page should understand in 30 seconds: how do I install this, what new thing can I do with it, and am I supposed to do anything when I upgrade?

Usage

/release-notes v0.4.2 — rewrite the v0.4.2 release body.

If the tag doesn't exist on GitHub yet, stop and explain. Do not create a release; the release is cut by .github/workflows/release-moraine.yml on tag push.

Process

1. Gather context

# Current (auto-generated) body. It's usually duplicated 3-6× because the
# release matrix runs softprops/action-gh-release from each target job, each
# time with generate_release_notes: true. You will dedupe in step 3.
gh release view "$TAG" --json body -q .body > /tmp/release-body.current.md

# Previous release tag, for the compare link and upgrade section.
prev_tag="$(gh release list --limit 20 --json tagName,isDraft,isPrerelease -q \
  '[.[] | select(.isDraft==false and .isPrerelease==false and .tagName!=env.TAG) | .tagName] | .[0]')"

# Full list of PRs merged since the previous tag, for context.
gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>=<prev-tag-date>" --json number,title,url
# or simpler — trust the auto-generated list and just read it.

Also read:

  • scripts/build-python-wheels.py — keep the "Platform support" table in sync with TARGET_TO_WHEEL_PLATFORM.
  • Any PR body that introduces a user-visible feature (via gh pr view <n> --json body -q .body). Prefer the PR's own summary over inventing one.

2. Decide the shape of this release

Before writing, classify the release:

  • Landmark release — new install path, big UI change, or a breaking change. Deserves a full-body treatment with install section, screenshots, upgrade notes. v0.4.2 is the canonical example.
  • Patch release — bug fixes only. Skip "🚀 Install", "🐧 Platform support", and "⬆️ Upgrading". The "🛠 Under the hood" section becomes the whole body. Still dedupe the auto-generated changelog.
  • Minor release between the two — include "🆕 What's new" but drop sections that didn't change. Don't pad.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
