daily-releases

daily-releases is a skill for Claude Code from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (1,828 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated workflow for creating one GitHub Release—a dated summary of code changes—for each day with commits on a chosen branch. It groups changes, analyzes them with AI, and publishes categorized release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or backfill daily GitHub Releases, limit the date range or branch, and preview the results without publishing them.
Why use it?
It removes the work of collecting commits and writing daily release summaries by hand. It can also fill in releases for earlier dates and skip releases that already exist.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is <base_ref> <head_ref> ./daily-releases/<date>/ [-R OWNER/REPO].

Good fit Use it to create or backfill daily GitHub Releases, limit the date range or branch, and preview the results without publishing them.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

daily-releases 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/bucket_day_data.py, scripts/cleanup_stale_releases.py, scripts/collect_day_dataset.py, …), 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.

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.

Daily Releases

Create GitHub Releases with AI-categorized changelogs for every day that had commits. Uses the same pipeline as /create-merge-request-changelog — real AI analysis, not template substitution.

Automatic Invocation

When this skill is activated, immediately begin processing without asking the user. Parse any arguments from <release_args/>:

--start-date YYYY-MM-DD   Only process days on or after this date
--end-date YYYY-MM-DD     Only process days on or before this date (default: today)
--branch BRANCH           Git branch (default: origin/main)
--dry-run                 Preview without creating releases

Process

Requires GITHUB_TOKEN for release status checks (list) and publishing.

Working directory: Run all commands from the repository root. Paths below assume cwd is the repo root.

Step 1: List days to process

uv run .claude/skills/daily-releases/scripts/list_daily_ranges.py [--branch BRANCH] [--start-date ...] [--end-date ...] [-R OWNER/REPO]

This outputs a JSON array. Each entry has:

{
  "date": "2026-02-21",
  "tag": "v2026.02.21",
  "base_ref": "<parent-commit-hash>",
  "head_ref": "<last-commit-hash-of-day>",
  "commit_count": 12,
  "release_exists": true,
  "needs_update": false
}

Skip entries where release_exists: true and needs_update: false — those are up to date.

For --dry-run, print the list and stop.

Step 2: For each day that needs a release

Work through days chronologically. For each day, the pipeline collects data, buckets it by token budget, analyses each bucket with a Haiku subagent, synthesises the results, then formats and publishes. Days with few commits pass through a single bucket with no synthesis overhead.

2a. Collect dataset
uv run .claude/skills/daily-releases/scripts/collect_day_dataset.py \
  <base_ref> <head_ref> ./daily-releases/<date>/ [-R OWNER/REPO]

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.
