release-notes

A release-note updater for a GitHub project after the release pull request has been merged into the main production branch. Release notes explain what changed in a published version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a release merge to update the GitHub release with a categorized changelog, such as bug fixes and features.
Why use it?
It turns the merged changes into organized notes, so users and developers can see fixes and new features without reading every commit.

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 2d 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 — 393 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cross-runtime: follow runtime compatibility for invocation, delegation, configuration precedence, state paths, and permissions.

You are helping enhance a GitHub release with comprehensive release notes. This command should be run AFTER the release PR has been merged to the production branch.

Step 1: Load Configuration

Check for configuration:

if [ -f ".git-workflow/config.yaml" ]; then CONFIG_PATH=".git-workflow/config.yaml"; elif [ -f ".claude/config.yaml" ]; then CONFIG_PATH=".claude/config.yaml"; else CONFIG_PATH=""; fi

Load from the resolved CONFIG_PATH (canonical first, legacy read-only fallback):

workflow:
  productionBranch: main
versioning:
  file: auto
release:
  generateChangelog: true
  changelogCategories:
    - name: "Bug Fixes"
      prefixes: ["[Fix]", "[FIX]", "fix:"]
      emoji: "bug"
    - name: "Features"
      prefixes: ["[Feature]", "feat:"]
      emoji: "sparkles"

Default Values:

workflow:
  productionBranch: main
versioning:
  file: auto

Step 2: Verify Current State

Check that you're on the production branch and up-to-date:

PROD_BRANCH=$(config.workflow.productionBranch || "main")

# Get current branch
CURRENT=$(git branch --show-current)

# Pull latest
git pull origin ${PROD_BRANCH}

Validation:

  • If not on production branch:
    You should be on {PROD_BRANCH} branch after the release PR is merged.
    Run: git checkout {PROD_BRANCH} && git pull
    

Step 3: Get Current Version

Detect version file and read current version:

# Auto-detect version file
if [ -f "package.json" ]; then
  VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
elif [ -f "pyproject.toml" ]; then
  VERSION=$(grep -Po '(?<=version = ")[^"]*' pyproject.toml)
elif [ -f "Cargo.toml" ]; then
  VERSION=$(grep -Po '(?<=^version = ")[^"]*' Cargo.toml)
elif [ -f "VERSION" ]; then
  VERSION=$(cat VERSION)
fi

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.
