What it does

Draft Release Notes is an agent skill from luxury-yacht/app. Generate release notes from git log since last tag, following [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com) and project conventions

Its SKILL.md is about 840 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 Git. The repository describes itself as: Luxury Yacht - A cross-platform app for managing Kubernetes clusters and resources. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 09c8d2d. 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

Draft Release Notes loads about 844 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~844

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.

Release Notes

Draft the unreleased notes in docs/release/pending.md from commits since the last tag. cmd/project/release.go inserts that file verbatim below the ## Release / ## Beta Release heading and version lines from docs/release/template.md, so the file holds only category sections and bullets: no version, date, or release heading.

Usage

/draft-release-notes [<from-tag> [<to-ref>]] — the range defaults to the latest tag (git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1) through HEAD.

Steps

  1. Read the current notes. Compare docs/release/pending.md with git show <from-tag>:docs/release/pending.md. Identical content is the already-tagged release: start a fresh file. Otherwise the entries are unreleased: keep their wording and merge into them.
  2. Read commits. Run git log <range> --oneline --no-merges, plus git log <range> --oneline --merges for PR merge commits (they carry the PR title and number). For unclear messages, run git show <sha> --stat and read key files to understand the user-visible effect.
  3. Categorize with Keep a Changelog types, in this order and only when a category has entries: Added (new features, UI elements, capabilities), Changed (existing functionality, UX, behavior), Deprecated (marked for future removal), Removed (deleted features), Fixed (bugs, stability), Security (vulnerabilities, auth).
  4. Merge each item into its section: fold it into an existing area bullet as a sub-bullet, or tighten that bullet, before adding a new one. Never duplicate an entry already present.
  5. Write docs/release/pending.md and show the diff. If the update rewrites or removes existing unreleased entries rather than only adding, show the proposed file and wait for approval before writing.

Writing Style

  • Write for users skimming what changed. "Favorites save views with their filters", not "implement fav persistence layer with JSON serialization."
  • Lead with the feature or area name. "Rollback for Deployments, DaemonSets, and StatefulSets", not "Added a new modal that lets you roll back."
  • Group by area. A plain lead bullet names the area; two-space-indented sub-bullets give specifics. Keep each bullet to one short sentence; no paragraph-length entries.
  • Group related fixes from one effort under one bullet ("Pod logs viewer is more reliable").
  • Section headings are ### Markdown headings (### Added); do not bold category or area names.
  • Leave out PR numbers and commit hashes, version bumps, merge commits, CI/build-only and internal changes without a user-visible effect, cosmetic details (spacing, icon sizes), and fixes to features that are new in these same unreleased notes.
  • Deprecated, Removed, and Security appear only with entries, but never omit them when they have entries: deprecations, removals, and breaking changes are the most important things to document.
