What it does

Release Notes is an agent skill from ctrsploit/ctrsploit. Draft ctrsploit release notes for a target version by comparing git tags, mapping merge commits to GitHub PRs, and grouping user-visible changes by module and object.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Git and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A penetration toolkit for container environment.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/release-notes”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the target version and previous release.
  2. Inspect the release range.
  3. Map changes to PRs.
  4. Write notes under docs/release-notes/.md.
  5. Validate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fe4d82. 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

Release Notes loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 774 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 774 words (~1,586 tokens).

“Use this when generating or updating ctrsploit release notes, changelogs, or version summaries.”
