Example session with this skill installed
Generate release notes for v1.2.0 from these commits:
- feat: add oauth2 support
- fix: memory leak in dashboard
- chore: bump deps
- BREAKING: rename /api/v1 to /api/v2
- fix: typo in readme
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the release notes generator
I have filtered the commits and categorized the changes for version 1.2.0. I translated the technical messages into user-friendly descriptions and highlighted the breaking API change.
Release v1.2.0 - May 22, 2024
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES
-
API Endpoint Versioning: The base API path has been moved from
/api/v1to/api/v2.
Migration Step: Update your BASE_URL environment variable or client configuration to point to the new /api/v2 prefix to avoid 404 errors.
🚀 New Features
OAuth2 Authentication: You can now sign in using third-party providers, offering a more secure and faster login experience.
🐛 Bug Fixes
Dashboard Stability: Resolved a critical memory leak that caused the dashboard to slow down or crash after extended use.
⚡ Performance & Maintenance
Dependency Updates: Updated internal libraries to their latest versions to ensure security and long-term stability.
Next steps
- Review the migration steps for the API path change.
- Update the public-facing documentation for OAuth2 setup.
- Tag the release in your version control system.

About this skill
The problem
Writing release notes is a tedious manual task that often leads to inconsistent formatting, technical jargon that users cannot understand, and missed breaking change warnings. Developers waste time filtering git commits and formatting changelogs instead of building features.
What it does
- Filters raw git commits to remove noise like typos and merge commits.
- Translates technical dev-speak into clear, benefit-oriented language for stakeholders.
- Identifies and prioritizes breaking changes with explicit migration steps.
- Categorizes updates into standard groups using professional Markdown and visual emojis.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
A standard LLM often just restates commit messages or misses the severity of breaking changes. This skill enforces a strict categorization hierarchy and ensures that critical migration instructions are never buried under minor bug fixes.
Use cases
- Generating a professional changelog from a sprint's worth of pull request titles.
- Creating customer-facing release notes from raw git log exports.
- Drafting internal documentation for breaking API changes and required migrations.
- Summarizing monthly maintenance work and performance optimizations for stakeholders.
