What it does
Polish Notes is an agent skill from coreos/chunkah. Polish raw GitHub release notes into user-impact-focused summaries. Use when preparing release notes for a new chunkah version.
Its SKILL.md is about 760 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 GitHub. The repository describes itself as: An OCI building tool for content-based layers. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Preparing release notes for a new chunkah version
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/polish-notes”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use gh release list --repo coreos/chunkah --limit 5 to fetch recent
- For each PR entry, parse the PR number from its URL, then use `gh pr view
- From the PR body and commit messages, determine the user-facing impact of
- Write a brief summary emphasizing impact to users, not implementation

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 780bcd2. 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:
ghjust
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, 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
Polish Notes loads about 759 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 347 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Polish release notes
Polish raw GitHub-generated release notes for chunkah.
Input
The user provides the version to release (e.g. v0.4.0 or 0.4.0) and
optionally a path to a file containing raw release notes. Strip any v prefix
to get the bare version (e.g. 0.4.0).
If no file path is provided, run just release generate-notes <bare-version>
to fetch raw notes from GitHub. Request to run in the host context if you get a
403.
The raw notes contain entries in this format:
* <PR title> by @<author> in <PR URL>Process
- Use
gh release list --repo coreos/chunkah --limit 5to fetch recent release tags, thengh release view <tag> --repo coreos/chunkahto read their release notes. Use these as a reference for how items were categorized in past releases. - For each PR entry, parse the PR number from its URL, then use
gh pr view <number> --repo coreos/chunkah --json body,commitsto fetch the PR description and commit messages. Fetch all PR details in parallel to minimize latency. - From the PR body and commit messages, determine the user-facing impact of the change (e.g. performance improvement, bug fix, new feature).
- Write a brief summary emphasizing impact to users, not implementation details. Keep it to 1-3 sentences.
- Categorize each item into one of the sections below, using the previous release notes as a guide for consistency.
Output format
Group items under these section headings (omit sections with no items):
- Major changes - New features, significant behavior changes, performance improvements, or breaking changes that users should know about.
- Minor changes - Small enhancements, new options, improved warnings, or documentation updates that are user-visible.
- Internal changes - Refactoring, CI fixes, test improvements, or code cleanup with no direct user-facing impact.
- Packaging changes - Dependency bumps, spec file changes, Packit fixes, or build system updates.
Rewrite each entry as:
* <user-impact summary> (<PR URL>)If the raw notes contain a "## New Contributors" section, preserve it verbatim at the bottom of the output, after all other sections.
Example
Input:
* tar: stream file reads instead of buffering into `Vec<u8>` by @jlebon in
https://github.com/coreos/chunkah/pull/72Output:
## Major changes
* Dramatically reduced memory usage by streaming file reads instead of
buffering entire files and tar layers into memory, cutting peak RSS to ~75 MB
(from ~6.5 GB of allocations for an FCOS image)
(https://github.com/coreos/chunkah/pull/72)Final steps
After drafting the output, check for spelling and grammar issues and fix them.
Write the final result to .release-notes-<bare-version>.md in the repo root
(e.g. .release-notes-0.4.0.md).
