Release Notes Generator

Release Notes Generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Notysoty/openagentskills. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,218 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid that turns Git history or pull-request descriptions into release notes. Git history records code changes; release notes explain those changes to users in readable Markdown.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare GitHub release descriptions, CHANGELOG.md files, or blog-post updates before a software release.
Why use it?
Commit messages and pull-request titles are often too technical, inconsistent, or incomplete for users. It groups related changes and rewrites them in plain language.

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 Generator 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 5d 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 Generator

What this skill does

This skill takes raw git log output or a list of PR titles/descriptions and turns them into polished, user-facing release notes. It groups changes by category, rewrites technical commit messages into plain English, and formats the output as clean markdown ready to paste into GitHub Releases, a CHANGELOG.md, or a blog post.

Use this before every release to save time and produce consistent, readable changelogs your users will actually understand.

How to use

Claude Code / Cline

Copy this file to .agents/skills/release-notes-generator/SKILL.md in your project root.

Then run:

git log v1.2.0..v1.3.0 --oneline

Paste the output and ask:

  • "Use the Release Notes Generator skill to turn this git log into release notes for v1.3.0."
  • "Generate release notes from these PR titles using the Release Notes Generator skill."

Cursor

Add the "Prompt / Instructions" section below to your .cursorrules file, then paste your git log or PR list into the chat.

Codex

Paste your git log or PR descriptions directly into the chat along with the instructions below. Include PR body text when available — it gives Codex more context for accurate categorization.

The Prompt / Instructions for the Agent

When asked to generate release notes, follow these steps:

  1. Parse the input. Accept any of:

    • git log --oneline output (hash + short message)
    • Full git log with commit bodies
    • A numbered or bulleted list of PR titles
    • A list of PR titles + descriptions
  2. Categorize each change into one of these buckets:

    • New Features — new capabilities, pages, commands, or options added
    • Improvements — enhancements to existing features (faster, easier to use, more options)
    • Bug Fixes — things that were broken and are now fixed
    • Breaking Changes — anything that requires users to update their code, config, or workflow
    • Security — security patches, dependency updates for known CVEs
    • Under the Hood — refactors, dependency bumps, CI changes (only include if relevant to devs)

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.
