release-notes

Ein Werkzeug zum Erstellen und Veröffentlichen kurzer, belegter Notizen im Text des neuesten bestehenden GitHub-Releases. GitHub-Releases bündeln eine veröffentlichte Version eines Projekts und ihre Änderungsinformationen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Für das Aktualisieren des Beschreibungstexts des neuesten GitHub-Releases anhand von Codeänderungen. Pull Requests und Commits dienen dabei nur als ergänzende Belege.
Why use it?
Es begrenzt die Änderung auf den Release-Text und nutzt den Repository-Diff als wichtigste Quelle. Dadurch sollen keine neuen Releases, geänderten Tags oder spekulativen Angaben entstehen.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install cc-safety-net, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 1 hook.

Per session 65 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

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 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 3d 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 — 289 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Notes

Update only the body of the latest existing GitHub Release. Treat the repository diff as the source of truth. Use pull requests and commits only as supporting evidence.

Safety rules

  • Use gh for all GitHub Release, pull request, issue, and API operations. Use git fetch only when required tag objects or history are missing.
  • Do not create or delete a release.
  • Do not change a tag, title, target, draft state, prerelease state, latest-release state, or other release metadata.
  • Do not publish a draft.
  • Do not use a new release as a fallback when no release exists.
  • Do not infer release order from version text, semantic versions, or Git tag order.
  • Stop when required evidence is unavailable. Do not publish partial or speculative notes.
  • Treat the notes file as a full replacement for the current release body, not as text to append.

1. Verify prerequisites

Run all checks from the repository that the user wants to release:

  1. Confirm that the current directory is in a Git worktree:

    git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
    
  2. Confirm that gh is available:

    command -v gh
    
  3. Confirm that gh can resolve and access the current GitHub repository. Save its URL and get the GitHub host from it:

    REPO_URL="$(gh repo view --json url --jq '.url')"
    GH_HOSTNAME="${REPO_URL#*://}"
    GH_HOSTNAME="${GH_HOSTNAME%%/*}"
    
  4. Use the repository URL to get its GitHub host. Confirm the active account for that host:

    gh auth status --active --hostname "$GH_HOSTNAME"
    

Stop with a clear error if a check fails. Do not initialize a Git repository, change authentication, or select another repository as a fallback.

2. Select the release range

Use GitHub's descending release-list order as the release sequence. Include drafts and prereleases because they are existing releases:

gh release list --limit 2 --order desc \
  --json tagName,name,createdAt,publishedAt,isDraft,isPrerelease,isImmutable,isLatest

Files

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.

release-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository kenryu42/cc-safety-net (1,517 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 2,930 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
