What it does

Release Changelog is an agent skill from sk2andy/candy-browser. Create or update Candy Browser's English, image-rich, versioned release notes for the in-app What's New presentation and the matching GitHub release. Use before preparing or publishing a new app version.

Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/template.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Android development. It works with GitHub, Android, Jetpack Compose and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: Gesture-first Android browser with Material 3 Expressive design and local privacy tools. The licence is MPL-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Android development

Example prompts

  • “s English, image-rich, versioned release notes for the in-app What”
  • “/release-changelog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a508882. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 Changelog loads about 593 tokens when it runs, and up to ~947 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~593
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~947

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.

Candy Browser release changelog

Create one polished Markdown file at release-notes/<candy.versionName>.md. This file is both the in-app What's New content and the exact GitHub release body; never maintain a second release summary.

Source the release story

  • Read candy.versionName from gradle.properties and inspect changes since the previous release tag.
  • Read the relevant feature documentation from docs/README.md; link claims to the owning README section rather than to implementation files.
  • Describe user-visible outcomes. Omit raw commit lists, internal refactors, test counts, and features that are not actually shipped.
  • Write in concise, natural English. Explain security limitations precisely without marketing claims that exceed the documented design.

Compose the notes

Read references/template.md for the supported structure, image/link formats, and app-renderer Markdown subset. Adapt section count and wording to the release; do not force empty template sections.

Use one strong product screenshot when available, or at most two when each explains a different user workflow. Prefer a focused crop of the UI concept being explained over an unrelated full-screen view. Reuse reviewed files under docs/screenshots/. Do not create, edit, or capture screenshots unless the user requested or authorized that work. Every image needs useful alt text and a tag-pinned raw GitHub URL so the release remains stable. The matching local screenshot must exist because the Android build embeds it for offline display.

Use tag-pinned GitHub links for README sections. Keep links useful outside the app and stable after the default branch moves.

Verify

Run:

sh
./gradlew :app:validateReleaseNotes \
  -Pcandy.releaseNotesFile=release-notes/<version>.md

Before release dispatch, use the same path as the required workflow input:

sh
gh workflow run release.yml \
  -f version=<version> \
  -f changelog=release-notes/<version>.md \
  -f prerelease=false

Do not publish, tag, push, or dispatch the workflow without explicit user authorization.
