digest:release

A command that turns a range of Git commits into release notes, which explain what changed in a software version. It can produce developer changelogs, user-facing summaries, or both.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare tags or a tag with the current code, classify changes, and write results to a changelog or another document.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually read and organise commits when preparing a release.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

digest:release 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.

What it actually says

Release

Generate structured release notes from a range of commits, with developer-facing changelogs and user-facing narratives.

Usage

$release                              # latest tag to HEAD, both formats
$release v1.0.0                       # v1.0.0 to HEAD
$release v1.0.0 v2.0.0               # between two tags
$release --dev                        # developer changelog only
$release --user                       # user narrative only
$release --write                      # append to CHANGELOG.md
$release --out docs/release.md        # write to custom file

Options

Flag Description
--dev Developer-facing changelog grouped by type
--user User-facing plain language narrative
--write Append to CHANGELOG.md
--out <file> Write to custom file path

Process

  1. Resolve tag range from arguments
  2. Dispatch the release agent using the prompt template in release-agent.md (in this skill directory)
  3. Gather and classify commits by conventional type
  4. Report developer changelog, user narrative, or both

Agent Dispatch

Use the companion release-agent.md in this directory as the agent prompt. Provide it with:

  • From and to refs
  • Format (dev, user, or both)
  • Write and output file options

The agent uses $PROJECT_ROOT (set by the init hook) or falls back to git rev-parse --show-toplevel.

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.
