What it does

Draft Release Notes is an agent skill from NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Compare NeMo Relay release refs and draft the current documentation release-notes page from verified repository evidence. Do not use for GitHub Release bodies or ordinary feature documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/collect_release_evidence.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Multi-language agent runtime and library for execution scope management, lifecycle events, and middleware on tool and LLM calls. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • GitHub Release bodies
  • Ordinary feature documentation

Example prompts

  • “/draft-release-notes”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the target release version from the release branch and package
  2. Run the helper. It reports an absent prior release-notes directory without
  3. Verify each candidate claim in the changed public docs, API types, command
  4. Update docs/about-nemo-relay/release-notes/index.mdx unless the release
  5. Preserve the page's current structure: release summary and highlights,
  6. Preserve MDX front matter and the JSX SPDX comment. State the full history

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 651453f. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • git
    • just

    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 575 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 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
~575

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Draft Release Notes

Draft the current documentation release-notes page from verified repository evidence. Keep complete, PR-by-PR release history in GitHub Releases.

Gather Evidence

Run the read-only helper with explicit release refs and the target minor version:

bash
python3 .agents/skills/draft-release-notes/scripts/collect_release_evidence.py \
  --previous release/<previous-major>.<previous-minor> \
  --current HEAD \
  --version <major>.<minor>

The report verifies both refs, compares their release-notes trees, identifies version text currently present in those pages, and groups commits into review candidates. Treat the groups as an evidence index, not publication-ready copy.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the target release version from the release branch and package metadata. Preserve unrelated working-tree changes.
  2. Run the helper. It reports an absent prior release-notes directory without failing, which is expected for early release branches.
  3. Verify each candidate claim in the changed public docs, API types, command help, or source before including it. Prioritize breaking changes, migrations, user-visible features, and ongoing support limitations.
  4. Update docs/about-nemo-relay/release-notes/index.mdx unless the release changes its route or navigation entry.
  5. Preserve the page's current structure: release summary and highlights, compatibility or migration notes, known issues, previous-release link, and related topics. Use tables or callouts only when they improve the existing page.
  6. Preserve MDX front matter and the JSX SPDX comment. State the full history is available in GitHub Releases; do not create a changelog or GitHub Release body from this skill.

Validate

Run the helper for the target release and, when useful, an early branch without release notes. Review public claims, then run:

bash
git diff --check
just docs

Check product names, commands, package names, support claims, and links against the current repository before handing off the draft.
