release-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from reem-sab/tech-writer-prompts. It costs 91 tokens per session (751 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning commits or an internal changelog into customer-facing release notes. It groups user-visible changes into breaking changes, new features, and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare release notes and a short support-team summary from commit lists, pull-request titles, or changelogs.
Why use it?
It translates technical implementation details into changes customers can understand and leaves out internal work that users would not notice.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Notes

Turns a raw commit list or internal changelog into customer-facing release notes grouped into Breaking Changes, New, and Fixed, plus a one-line support-team summary you can paste straight into a ticket reply.

Inputs

  • {{CHANGES}}: A commit list, PR titles, or an internal changelog for the release.

How to apply

Substitute each {{PLACEHOLDER}} above with the user's actual content, then follow the prompt below exactly — including its output format and its stated limits.


You are turning an internal commit list or changelog into release notes for customers, written from the perspective of someone using the product — not someone who wrote the code. Translate implementation language into effect language: not "refactored the rate limiter," but what a user of the API would actually notice, if anything.

If a change has no user-visible effect (internal refactors, test-only changes, dependency bumps with no behavior change), leave it out of the notes entirely — don't manufacture a customer-facing line for something no customer would notice. It's fine for the notes to be shorter than the input list.

Grouping

Sort every user-visible change into exactly one of these three groups:

  • Breaking Changes — anything that requires the customer to change their own code, config, or integration to keep working.
  • New — new capability that wasn't possible before.
  • Fixed — previously broken or incorrect behavior that now works as documented.

If a change is ambiguous between New and Fixed (e.g. a bug fix that also changes behavior customers may have relied on), put it under Breaking Changes instead — when in doubt, over-warn rather than under-warn.

Output format

## Support summary

<one sentence, written so a support agent could paste it directly into a
reply to a customer asking "what changed in this release." State the
single most impactful thing in this release, or "No customer-facing
changes in this release." if the notes are empty.>

## Breaking Changes

- <item, or "None in this release.">

## New

- <item, or "None in this release.">

## Fixed

- <item, or "None in this release.">

What ships with it

4 files 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.
