What it does

Asc Whats New Writer is an agent skill from CamilleScholtz/swmpc. Generate engaging, localized App Store release notes (What's New) from git log, bullet points, or free text using canonical metadata under ./Store. Optionally pairs with promotional text updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/release_notes_guidelines.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, App store release and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: An MPD client for macOS & iOS.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve App store release
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/asc-whats-new-writer”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Input
  2. Draft Notes (Primary Locale)
  3. Localize
  4. Review & Upload

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51fa7cb. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Asc Whats New Writer loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 813 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (EUPL-1.2) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 813 words (~1,776 tokens).

“Generate engaging, localized release notes from flexible input. Optionally pair with promotional text updates.”
