release-notes

release-notes is a skill for Claude Code from no-human-ai/no_human. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for writing short release notes from a tagged software release or a range of commits. It describes changes by their effect on users and includes every contributor whose commits are in the release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare user-facing notes for a software release, including an impact summary and contributor thanks.
Why use it?
It turns technical commit history into a concise explanation of what changed for users. It also reduces the chance of leaving contributors out of the acknowledgements.

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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release notes

Turn one release (a tag, or a range of commits) into notes a reader skims in under a minute: what the release does for them, stated as impact, and a thank- you to everyone whose work is in it. Not a changelog, not a commit list.

Three rules, in priority order:

  1. Lead with business impact, not mechanism. Every line answers "what does this change let me do / stop worrying about," not "what file moved." Group by the value to the reader, not by subsystem. Drop anything a user never sees (CI wiring, test-only changes, internal refactors) unless it changed a guarantee they rely on.
  2. Thank every contributor whose commits are in the release (see below). Completeness here is not optional — a missing name is the one error people notice.
  3. Short. If a section is not impact or thanks, cut it. No methodology hedging, no "we're excited to", no filler. A reader should reach the end without scrolling twice.

Step 1 — establish the exact range, then read it

Never write from memory or from a PR list. Read the real commits.

  • Find the previous release tag and this one: git tag --sort=-creatordate | head.
  • List the commits: git log <prev-tag>..<this-tag> --format='%h %an%x09%s'. (If there is no tag yet, use <prev-tag>..HEAD and say so.)
  • Verify both endpoints resolve (git rev-parse <tag>), and that the range is non-empty. An empty range means the wrong tags — stop and fix it.

Read every subject line. Cluster them by what the user gets. A cluster of five commits that together fix one thing is ONE bullet about that thing.

Step 2 — write the impact, and claim only what the range establishes

For each cluster, write one line of impact. Constraints:

  • State only what the commits actually did. If you cannot point to the commit that establishes a claim, do not make the claim. No numbers without a source you can name (a command, a file). If you quote a measurement, say where it was measured.
  • Platform coverage and signing, when relevant, are stated plainly and honestly — what is signed, what is not, and what the user must do about it. Never imply a signature or an auto-update path that does not exist.
  • Keep the project's own voice. Do not add a tagline the project has not adopted; if it has a pinned one, use it verbatim and do not reword it.
  • Banned, because they read as machine-written or as marketing haze: "verbatim", "delve", "seamless", "robust", "we're thrilled/excited", "leverage" (as a verb), "in today's fast-paced". Say the plain thing instead.

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.
