What it does
Gh Release Notes is an agent skill from react-cosmos/react-cosmos. Generate a clean list of commits between two git tags for GitHub release notes.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 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, Git and React. The repository describes itself as: Sandbox for developing and testing UI components in isolation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/gh-release-notes”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- If a tag argument is provided (e.g. /gh-release-notes v7.2.0), use it. Otherwise, ask the user for the git tag.
- Find the previous tag by running git tag --sort=-v:refname and picking the tag immediately after the provided one in the sorted list.
- Run git log --pretty=oneline ... to get the commit list.
- Remove any commits containing [release] from the output.
- Output the remaining commits as a clean list, keeping the git log --pretty=oneline format: each line starts with the full commit sha…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aae77c6. 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:
gitgh
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
Gh Release Notes loads about 335 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

GitHub Release Notes
Generate a clean commit list between two git tags for GitHub release notes.
Instructions
- If a tag argument is provided (e.g.
/gh-release-notes v7.2.0), use it. Otherwise, ask the user for the git tag. - Find the previous tag by running
git tag --sort=-v:refnameand picking the tag immediately after the provided one in the sorted list. - Run
git log --pretty=oneline <previous_tag>...<provided_tag>to get the commit list. - Remove any commits containing
[release]from the output. - Output the remaining commits as a clean list, keeping the
git log --pretty=onelineformat: each line starts with the full commit sha followed by the commit message. - Ask the user for confirmation before creating the release. Show them the exact release name (same as the tag) and the exact body (the clean commit list from step 5). Do NOT proceed without explicit confirmation.
- After confirmation, create the GitHub release using
gh release create <tag> --title "<tag>" --notes "<commit list>". The release title must be the tag name and the body must be the exact clean list from step 5. Do NOT include a Co-Authored-By line or any tool attribution.
