summarize-releases

summarize-releases is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NVIDIA/elements. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-summary workflow that turns local version tags, changelogs, package versions, and commit history into a monthly “What’s New” documentation page and short announcement text. It reads the local Git copy rather than contacting GitHub or npm.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for monthly release roundups, changelog digests, scheduled release pull requests, Slack updates, and announcements.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually collect changes from multiple release records and explain them in plain language. It also combines repeated entries from package changelogs.

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

summarize-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 21d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect-releases.js), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize Releases

Turn recent NVIDIA Elements releases into a dated docs page that explains what changed and why users should care. Leave the repository with a focused, validated change that a scheduled agent can propose as a pull request.

Collect the evidence

Run the collector from the repository root. Pass the requested calendar month; otherwise the collector uses the previous calendar month.

mise exec -- node .agents/skills/summarize-releases/scripts/collect-releases.js

The script is the source of truth for:

  • the docs page path, URL, title, covered month, publication dates, layout, and collection tags
  • release tags and their creation dates
  • package names and versions from each tag
  • tagged package.json version checks
  • the matching section from each tagged CHANGELOG.md
  • repeated-commit merging across package changelogs
  • conventional commit metadata, messages, and changed-file statistics

The collector only reads the local Git clone. It does not call the GitHub API, query npm, or require a token.

Useful options:

mise exec -- node .agents/skills/summarize-releases/scripts/collect-releases.js --month 2026-07
mise exec -- node .agents/skills/summarize-releases/scripts/collect-releases.js --month 2026-07 --json

Use --include-prereleases only when the user wants preview releases.

For scheduled monthly runs, omit --month to collect the previous calendar month. Pass --month YYYY-MM for historical or explicit reruns. The collector treats the current month as month-to-date and rejects future months.

Check repository freshness

The collector can only report tags available in the clone. When the user requests the latest releases and the clone might be stale or shallow, fetch the public tags before collecting:

git fetch --tags origin

If fetching is unavailable, state that the result covers only the local tags. Do not claim that the report includes the latest releases.

Investigate the changes

Read the complete evidence packet before drafting. Treat changelog text as a lead, not a complete plain-language explanation.

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.
