release-notes-from-git-log

release-notes-from-git-log is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 66 tokens per session (598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-note writer that turns a Git log—the record of changes made to a code repository—into a short changelog for users. It groups changes into features, fixes, and other changes and removes internal noise.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create release notes from commits since a tag, with a headline, grouped changes, and any required user action.
Why use it?
Commit messages are often written for developers and can be unclear to users. This translates them into actions and effects that readers can understand, including a migration step when one is needed.

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-from-git-log 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 21d 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.

Release Notes From Git Log

Commits are written for the people who made them; release notes are read by the people who did not. This skill turns the log into notes a user can act on: grouped, short, in plain language, with internal noise removed.

What This Skill Produces

  • A headline line for the release
  • Changes grouped under Features, Fixes, and Changes, one line each, user-facing
  • A migration note when anything needs action

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The git log (or the commit list) since the last tag
  • The version or tag name
  • The audience: end users, developers, or both

Framework: Group, Translate, Cut

  1. Group by kind from the commit prefix or message: feat, fix, chore.
  2. Translate each line from what changed to what the reader gains.
  3. Cut chores, refactors and merges unless they change behaviour.

Output Format

v:

Features

  • ... Fixes
  • ... Changes
  • ... Migration: <none, or the one step>

Worked Examples

Example 1: a small web app release

Input (abridged): 12 commits, three prefixed feat, six fix, three chore. Output (abridged): a headline, three feature lines, six fix lines, no chores, migration: none.

Example 2: a library with a breaking change

Input (abridged): a commit renaming a public function. Output (abridged): the rename under Changes with the old and new name, and a one-line migration step.

Example 3: a hotfix

Input (abridged): one fix commit. Output (abridged): a single-line note with the headline "hotfix" and the fix.

Quality Checks

  • Every line says what the reader gains, not what the code did
  • Chores and merges are gone unless they change behaviour
  • Grouped, one line per change, short
  • A migration note exists whenever something needs action

Anti-Patterns

  • Pasting commit messages. They are not notes.
  • Listing every commit. Cut the noise.
  • Internal tone. Ticket numbers and branch names do not belong.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Release notes from this git log."
  • "Write the changelog entry from these commits."

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.
