Skill Claude CodeCodex
Turns a commit list or internal changelog into customer-facing release notes grouped by impact (breaking, new, and fixed), with a one-line summary a support team could paste straight into a ticket. Use this skill when the task is: Turns a raw commit list or internal changelog into customer-facing release notes grouped…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Turns a screen recording description or a set of numbered screenshot descriptions into a written procedure phrased by what UI elements are named, not where they sit or what they look like, so it survives a redesign. Use this skill when the task is: Turns a numbered sequence of screenshot or screen-recording frame…
