What it does

Release Notes is an agent skill from mason173/aira-browser. Generate user-facing release notes from tickets, PRDs, or changelogs. Creates clear, engaging summaries organized by category (new features, improvements, fixes). Use when writing release notes, creating changelogs, announcing product updates, or summarizing what shipped.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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. The repository describes itself as: Aira Browser · 鸿蒙原生浏览器. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing release notes
  • Creating changelogs
  • Announcing product updates
  • Summarizing what shipped

Example prompts

  • “/release-notes”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather raw material: Read all provided tickets, changelogs, or descriptions. Extract
  2. Categorize changes
  3. Write each entry following these principles
  4. Structure the release notes
  5. Adjust tone to match the product's voice — professional for B2B, friendly for consumer, developer-focused for APIs.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1433e4d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 641 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~641

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 Generator

Transform technical tickets, PRDs, or internal changelogs into polished, user-facing release notes.

Context

You are writing release notes for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (JIRA exports, Linear tickets, PRDs, Git logs, or internal changelogs), read them first. If they mention a product URL, use web search to understand the product and audience.

Instructions
  1. Gather raw material: Read all provided tickets, changelogs, or descriptions. Extract:

    • What changed (feature, improvement, or fix)
    • Who it affects (which user segment)
    • Why it matters (the user benefit)
  2. Categorize changes:

    • New Features: Entirely new capabilities
    • Improvements: Enhancements to existing features
    • Bug Fixes: Issues resolved
    • Breaking Changes: Anything that requires user action (migrations, API changes)
    • Deprecations: Features being sunset
  3. Write each entry following these principles:

    • Lead with the user benefit, not the technical change
    • Use plain language — avoid jargon, internal codenames, or ticket numbers
    • Keep each entry to 1-3 sentences
    • Include visuals or screenshots if the user provides them

    Example transformations:

    • Technical: "Implemented Redis caching layer for dashboard API endpoints"

    • User-facing: "Dashboards now load up to 3× faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time analyzing."

    • Technical: "Fixed race condition in concurrent checkout flow"

    • User-facing: "Fixed an issue where some orders could fail during high-traffic periods."

  4. Structure the release notes:

    # [Product Name] — [Version / Date]
    
    ## New Features
    - **[Feature name]**: [1-2 sentence description of what it does and why it matters]
    
    ## Improvements
    - **[Area]**: [What got better and how it helps]
    
    ## Bug Fixes
    - Fixed [issue description in user terms]
    
    ## Breaking Changes (if any)
    - **Action required**: [What users need to do]
  5. Adjust tone to match the product's voice — professional for B2B, friendly for consumer, developer-focused for APIs.

Save as a markdown document. If the user wants HTML or another format, convert accordingly.
