configure

A setup skill for GitHub release notes, which are summaries GitHub generates for a release from merged pull requests and changes. It creates `.github/release.yml` to group those changes into categories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure release-note categories, preview the proposed configuration, write `.github/release.yml`, and verify the resulting release-note preview.
Why use it?
It removes the need to sort release changes manually every time. It uses repository labels and recent pull-request history to shape the categories, while checking existing configuration before changing it.

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

configure 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 yesterday.

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

Configure

Generates .github/release.yml for automated release note categorization.

Critical Rules

  • Read cross-cutting behaviors first: skills/shared/references/cross-cutting.md
  • Always preview the generated config before writing the file
  • Validate by generating preview notes after writing the config
  • Respect existing configuration — if .github/release.yml already exists, show it and ask before overwriting
  • Use --json flags for structured output

Prerequisites Check

gh auth status
# Check if release.yml already exists
git ls-files .github/release.yml
cat .github/release.yml 2>/dev/null

If .github/release.yml already exists, show its contents and ask the user whether to update it or create a fresh one.

Capabilities

1. Generate release.yml (Full Workflow)

Step 1: Analyze repo labels

# Get all labels
gh label list --json name,description --limit 200

Group labels by category pattern (e.g., type: *, area: *).

Step 2: Analyze PR history

# Recent PRs with labels
gh pr list --state merged --limit 50 --json title,labels,author

Identify which labels are commonly used on PRs.

Step 3: Generate configuration

Read references/release-yml-guide.md for the full schema and examples.

Map discovered labels to release note categories:

  • type: feature, enhancement → "New Features"
  • type: bug, bug, fix → "Bug Fixes"
  • documentation, docs → "Documentation"
  • dependencies, dependabot → "Dependencies"
  • breaking, breaking-change → "Breaking Changes"

Step 4: Preview config

Show the complete .github/release.yml content to the user. Explain each category and which labels map to it.

Step 5: Write file

After user approval, write .github/release.yml.

Step 6: Validate

# Generate preview notes using the new config
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/generate-notes \
  -f tag_name="HEAD" \
  -f target_commitish="$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef --jq '.defaultBranchRef.name')" \
  --jq '.body' 2>/dev/null

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.
