Audit GitHub release notes against the code at each tag: features credited to the wrong release, technical claims that don't match the implementation.

  • Works in 7 steps: Enumerate releases and their windows → Pull the current published notes → For each bullet: find the implementing… → …
  • Vet the release
  • SKILL.md covers When to use (full scope), Why this exists, Procedure and Report format, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls git and gh

What it does

Release Notes Audit is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Audit GitHub release notes against the code at each tag: features credited to the wrong release, technical claims that don't match the implementation. Use for "vet the release", "is the changelog accurate", "audit past releases", or before/after editing a published release body. Not artifact verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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: Infinite is a node-based audiovisual workstation — real-time GPU video compositing, procedural 3D geometry, modular synths, DSP, and VST3/AU plugin hosting.

When your agent uses it

  • Vet the release
  • Is the changelog accurate
  • Audit past releases
  • Before/after editing a published release body

Example prompts

  • “t match the implementation. Use for”
  • “is the changelog accurate”
  • “audit past releases”
  • “/release-notes-audit”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Enumerate releases and their windows
  2. Pull the current published notes
  3. For each bullet: find the implementing commit(s)
  4. Check timing: is it actually an ancestor of this tag?
  5. Confirm the code existed at the tag, not just that a commit landed
  6. Spot-check every specific noun in the bullet against the real code
  7. Whole-history sweep for claims with no root at all

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e82b19. 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
    • gh

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

  • Network

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

Release Notes Audit loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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 (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,155 words (~2,232 tokens).

“Audit Infinite's GitHub release notes (v0.1, v0.2-preview, v0.2.1, and any future tag) against what the code actually contained at that exact tag commit — catches features credited to the wrong release, and specific technical claims in a bullet ("samples vertices…”
