generate-release-notes

generate-release-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sembraniteam/claude-plugins. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,528 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning the newest entry in CHANGELOG.md into release notes for websites, the Apple App Store, or Google Play. A changelog is a project record of changes between releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare web release notes, App Store notes, Play Store notes, bilingual updates, or a user-facing “what’s new” section from the latest changelog entry.
Why use it?
It avoids rewriting the same update for each platform and keeps the wording within each platform's stated length and language settings.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

generate-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 3d 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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Release Notes

Generate platform-specific, bilingual release notes from the latest entry in CHANGELOG.md using generate-release-notes.py. Produces separate output files per platform with enforced character limits and user-friendly language.

Prerequisites

  • CHANGELOG.md must exist with at least one version entry — invoke generate-changelog first if needed
  • Python 3 (standard library only, no pip install)
  • Settings at .claude/changelog-manager.local.md — invoke changelog-config if missing

Platform Reference

Platform Output File Char Limit Tone
playstore RELEASE_NOTES_PLAYSTORE 500 per language Concise, bullet-first
appstore RELEASE_NOTES_APPSTORE 4,000 per language Friendly, feature-rich
web RELEASE_NOTES No limit Detailed, full context

Context & Inputs

Read settings — read .claude/changelog-manager.local.md. If it does not exist, use defaults and notify the user:

languages:
  - code: en_US
    name: English
platforms:
  - web

Read CHANGELOG.md — extract the latest version block (first ## [vX.Y.Z] section):

  • Version number and release date
  • All categorized entries by section (Breaking Changes, Added, Changed, Fixed, Reverted)

This is the only place items come from — the script itself does not read CHANGELOG.md or extract anything from it. Deciding which entries become --item flags (if any) is entirely up to Claude, done here.

Generate Notes

For each platform, build and run one command with all language blocks:

python3 $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/generate-release-notes.py \
  --platform <platform> \
  --lang <code1> --summary "<summary1>" [--item "<item1>" --item "<item2>"] [--outro "<outro1>"] \
  --lang <code2> --summary "<summary2>" [--item "<item1>" --item "<item2>"] [--outro "<outro2>"]

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
