Generate Redmine.org release notes from a GitHub release tag.

  • Works in 5 steps: Determine the Version → Fetch the GitHub Release Notes → Convert to Textile → …
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • SKILL.md covers User Input, Procedure, Expected Output Format and Notes
  • Calls gh; reaches github.com

What it does

Create Release Notes is an agent skill from haru/redmine_ai_helper. Generate Redmine.org release notes from a GitHub release tag. Fetches the release, strips emojis/issue numbers/author names, and outputs Textile-formatted text ready to paste into redmine.org.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 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: A Redmine plugin that adds AI agents, MCP Server, smart completion, and vector search. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/create-release-notes”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine the Version
  2. Fetch the GitHub Release Notes
  3. Convert to Textile
  4. Prepend the Download Section
  5. Output the Result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3cd87d6. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Create Release Notes loads about 768 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~768

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.

Create Redmine.org Release Notes

Fetch the GitHub release notes for a given version and convert them into Textile format suitable for posting on redmine.org.

User Input

text
$ARGUMENTS

The user input should contain the release version (e.g. 3.3.0). If no version is provided, ask the user which version to use before proceeding.

Procedure

Step 1: Determine the Version

Extract the version from $ARGUMENTS. If absent, ask the user for the target version.

Step 2: Fetch the GitHub Release Notes

Run:

bash
gh release view <version> --repo haru/redmine_ai_helper

Parse the Markdown body from the output.

Step 3: Convert to Textile

Transform the Markdown release notes into Textile following these rules:

MarkdownTextile
## What's Changedh3. What's Changed
### New Features …h4. New Features
### Bug Fixes …h4. Bug Fixes
### Other Changes …h4. Other Changes
* item / - item* item

Cleanup rules (apply in order):

  1. Remove emojis — strip all emoji characters (e.g. :tada:, Unicode emoji such as 🎉, 🐛, 📝).
  2. Remove GitHub issue/PR references — delete patterns like by @author in https://github.com/.../pull/123 or by @author in https://github.com/.*/issues/\d+. Also remove standalone by @username suffixes.
  3. Remove author names — delete any remaining by @username patterns.
  4. Remove hyperlinks — delete bare GitHub URLs that appear after cleanup (e.g. https://github.com/...).
  5. Remove the "Full Changelog" line — drop the line starting with **Full Changelog**.
  6. Trim trailing whitespace from each bullet.
Step 4: Prepend the Download Section

Add a download section at the top:

h3. Download

https://github.com/haru/redmine_ai_helper/releases/tag/<version>
Step 5: Output the Result

Print the complete Textile text to the user so they can copy and paste it into redmine.org. Do not write it to any file.

Expected Output Format

h3. Download

https://github.com/haru/redmine_ai_helper/releases/tag/<version>

h3. What's Changed

h4. New Features

* <feature description>
* <feature description>

h4. Bug Fixes

* <fix description>

h4. Other Changes

* <change description>
* <change description>

Notes

  • Output must be Textile, not Markdown. redmine.org does not render Markdown.
  • Never include emoji — redmine.org does not support them.
  • Never include GitHub issue/PR numbers (#123) — they would be interpreted as redmine.org issue numbers.
  • Never include author names — GitHub usernames are irrelevant on redmine.org.
  • Do not write the output to any file; display it in the conversation only.
