What it does

Generate Release Notes is an agent skill from avalon60/ctk_theme_builder. Generate release notes for CTk Theme Builder by checking for uncommitted changes, verifying the release version in .bumpversion.cfg, and appending the standard installation and upgrade footer.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: CTk Theme Builder for CustomTkinter, a comprehensive and easy solution, for creating CustomTkinter themes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/generate-release-notes”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check whether the repository has outstanding modifications. If the worktree is dirty, tell the user that the release notes may not reflect…
  2. Check that the application version has already been bumped to the intended release version before drafting the notes. For OraTAPI, treat…
  3. Append the following footer text after the release-specific notes. Replace placeholders such as x.y.z with the actual release version…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a27fba6. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Generate Release Notes loads about 287 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~287

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.

Generate release notes for CTk Theme Builder by checking for uncommitted changes, verifying the release version in .bumpversion.cfg, and appending the standard installation and upgrade footer.

When requested to generate release notes:

  1. Check whether the repository has outstanding modifications. If the worktree is dirty, tell the user that the release notes may not reflect all uncommitted changes and confirm whether the notes should be based on the current working tree or only on committed changes.
  2. Check that the application version has already been bumped to the intended release version before drafting the notes. For OraTAPI, treat .bumpversion.cfg as the authoritative release-version source unless the user explicitly says otherwise. If .bumpversion.cfg has not yet been updated, warn the user that version-specific wording, artifact names, and upgrade guidance may be inaccurate until the version bump is complete.
  3. Append the following footer text after the release-specific notes. Replace placeholders such as x.y.z with the actual release version where applicable.
