A writing workflow for generating localized “What’s New” release notes, the text shown to users about changes in a new app version. It can use git history, bullet points, or free text and reads existing locale files from a metadata folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update release notes for an App Store version and optionally update promotional text in the app’s metadata.
Why use it?
It turns development changes into user-facing release notes and helps keep notes consistent across supported languages. It can filter out technical changes that users do not need to see.

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

asc-whats-new-writer 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 20d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

asc What's New Writer

Generate engaging, localized release notes from flexible input. Optionally pair with promotional text updates.

Preconditions

  • Metadata pulled locally into canonical files via asc metadata pull --app "APP_ID" --version "1.2.3" --dir "./metadata". OR: user provides keywords manually.
  • Auth configured for upload (asc auth login or ASC_* env vars).
  • The primary locale is en-US unless the user specifies otherwise.

Before You Start

  1. Read references/release_notes_guidelines.md for tone, structure, and examples.
  2. Identify the latest version directory under metadata/version/ (highest semver). Use this for all metadata reads.
  3. Enumerate existing locales by listing the JSON files in that version directory.

Phase 1: Gather Input

Accept one of three input modes (auto-detect):

Git Log

Parse commits since the last tag:

# Find latest tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0

# List commits since that tag
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

Filter out noise: merge commits, dependency bumps, CI changes, formatting-only commits. Extract user-facing changes.

Bullet Points

User provides rough bullets like:

  • "improved search"
  • "fixed crash on launch"
  • "added sleep timer"

Free Text

User describes changes conversationally:

"We made search faster, fixed that annoying crash when you open the app, and added a sleep timer feature"

The skill extracts and structures the changes from the text.

No Input Provided

Prompt the user: "What changed in this release? You can paste git log output, bullet points, or just describe the changes."

Phase 2: Draft Notes (Primary Locale)

Step 1: Classify Changes

Group changes into sections per the guidelines:

  • New — new features or capabilities
  • Improved — enhancements to existing features
  • Fixed — bug fixes users would notice

Omit empty sections. If all changes are fixes, only show "Fixed."

Step 2: Write Benefit-Focused Copy

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
