What it does

Release Notes is an agent skill from 4gray/iptvnator. Use when a change may need a .changes note, the Release note gate fails, or deciding whether type: internal or no-release-note applies.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: :tv: Cross-platform IPTV player application with multiple features, such as support of m3u and m3u8 playlists, favorites, TV guide, TV archive/catchup and more. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A change may need a .changes note
  • The Release note gate fails
  • Deciding whether type: internal
  • No-release-note applies

Example prompts

  • “/release-notes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acb8cb0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Release Notes loads about 446 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~446

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Release Notes

Every user-visible change gets one direct .changes/<area>-<slug>.md file. The area matches the conventional-commit scope; the body is present tense, user language, one to three sentences, and at most 400 characters.

Format

markdown
---
type: fix
area: stalker
issues: [1234]
screenshot: optional-manifest-slug
highlight: Optional short headline
---

Stalker series now resume the correct episode.

type is breaking, feature, fix, perf, or internal. Omit optional fields instead of inventing values. Never add a version or PR number.

highlight (max 60 characters, never on internal) names a headline feature: it leads the Telegram/Reddit announcement drafts and becomes the blog section heading. Reserve it for the two or three changes worth announcing.

internal records invisible maintenance. It stays collapsed in CHANGELOG.md but is omitted from the blog and the authored public GitHub body. GitHub's generated commit list may still mention the underlying commits.

Skip or Label

The gate auto-exempts website, E2E and mock-server apps, *.spec.{js,ts}, *.e2e.{js,ts}, snapshots, any /testing/ path, and Markdown. Other test-only, docs, CI, workflow, or pure-refactor PRs use no-release-note when the gate would otherwise require a note. At least one newly added direct .changes/*.md file satisfies the gate.

Verify

bash
pnpm run release:notes:validate

Full format: .changes/README.md. Gate policy: tools/release/check-release-note-gate.mjs.
