intent-release-note

A read-only release-note generator that examines Git commit history and connects commits with the project’s recorded intent—the reasons and goals behind the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create changelogs, GitHub release notes, customer-facing notes, pull-request descriptions, or project-trajectory summaries from a selected commit range.
Why use it?
It explains why matched changes were made and makes unmatched commits visible instead of silently leaving gaps between the plan and the code.

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

intent-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 2d 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.

intent-release-note Skill

Core Mission

  • Success Criteria:
    • Read the git log of the given range (default = latest tag..HEAD; <from>..<to> may be given via argument, with fallback) read-only (no commit / tag creation / push).
    • Text-match each commit against intent (packet name / parent intent / deltas) and, for matched ones, attach the "why (for which intent it changed)."
    • List unmatched commits as thin changelog lines, surfacing the gap between intent and reality (do not silently drop them).
    • Derive output under .intent/release-note/ following a format (select rules/format-changelog.md / rules/format-github-releases.md / rules/format-changelog-customer.md / rules/format-pr-description.md / rules/format-trajectory.md by argument) by full replacement.
    • Change neither the canonical intent (intent-tree / compass / packets) nor the git state (INV16 / INV17).

Execution Steps

Step 1: Range interpretation (fix the range)

  • When the user runs /intent-release-note, first interpret the range argument per rules/source-scope.md.
  • The default (no range given) is latest tag..HEAD (find the latest tag with git describe --tags --abbrev=0 and use <tag>..HEAD). If <from>..<to> is given, use it.
  • If there is no latest tag and the default cannot be resolved, fall back to the full history and note this in the output (Fail-Soft). An invalid range argument is an explicit error and does not generate a release note.
  • Once the range is fixed, proceed to Step 2 (the range is uniquely determined by argument + default + fallback, not dependent on interactive completion).

Step 2: Read-only reading of the git log

  • Per the read-only allowlist in rules/source-scope.md, read the commits of the fixed range read-only.
  • Only read-only git log / git tag (listing) / git describe / git rev-list / git rev-parse / git show may be used.
  • Never invoke writing operations (git commit / git tag <name> creation / git push / git checkout / git switch / git reset / git restore / git merge / git rebase / git cherry-pick, etc.) (INV16).
  • Read each commit's hash, subject, body, author, and date as material.

What ships with it

7 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.

intent-release-note is a skill published in the GitHub repository ijust/intent-planner (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,714 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
