minutes-release-notes

minutes-release-notes is a skill for Codex from silverstein/minutes. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,424 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-note drafting guide for Minutes, using the changes between two software versions and recent GitHub releases. It produces text for users rather than making them interpret commit messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare or review draft release notes, including breaking changes, upgrades, compatibility details, and contributor credits.
Why use it?
It turns technical change history into an understandable explanation of what changed and why the release matters.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/check_version_sync.mjs --release.

Good fit Use it to prepare or review draft release notes, including breaking changes, upgrades, compatibility details, and contributor credits.

About the project

Minutes is an open-source, local-first meeting recorder that transcribes meetings, calls, and voice memos on the device and stores the results as Markdown files. It is for people who want their meeting records available to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients without uploading them. The catalogue add-ons extend agent workflows for querying and using those local meeting files.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

minutes-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 8d 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.

/minutes-release-notes

Draft release notes that explain why a Minutes release matters without making users decode the commit history. Produce a draft only. Do not create, edit, or publish a GitHub release unless the user explicitly asks.

Inputs

Collect:

  • the new version, such as v0.22.0
  • the previous stable tag, or an explicit starting ref
  • the target ref, normally HEAD
  • the release channel, normally stable or preview
  • any known breaking changes, migrations, compatibility notes, or contributor credits

Resolve missing refs from the repository instead of guessing:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0
git log <previous-tag>..HEAD --pretty='%s (%h)'

When HEAD is already tagged, resolve the previous tag from its parent so the range does not collapse to zero commits:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^

Confirm both refs with git rev-parse --verify before drafting. If the version or range is ambiguous, ask one short question.

Steps

1. Learn the current release voice

Read two or three recent stable releases before writing:

gh release list --limit 5
gh release view <recent-tag>

Match the current heading hierarchy, amount of detail, install wording, contributor treatment, and overall tone. Prefer concrete user outcomes, honest limitations, and short technical explanations. Do not copy stale version-specific claims.

Never use em dashes in the draft. Rewrite with commas, colons, parentheses, or separate sentences. This is a repository release convention, not an optional style preference.

2. Build the change ledger

Read the full range and inspect touched files when a subject is unclear:

git log <previous-tag>..HEAD --pretty='%s (%h)'
git diff --stat <previous-tag>..HEAD
git show --stat <commit>

Classify every relevant commit by conventional prefix:

  • feat -> Features
  • fix -> Fixes
  • perf -> Performance
  • docs, chore, build, ci, test, and uncategorized maintenance -> Docs / Chore rollup

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.
