React Router Release Notes Prep
remix-run/react-router
Polishes pending React Router change files before the versioning scripts run, and decides whether a long-form What's Changed section is warranted.
Generate a polished CHANGELOG.md and release-notes.md from a local git repository (or a captured .git-log.txt dump).

What it does
Changelog Generator is an agent skill from skrun-dev/skrun. Generate a polished CHANGELOG.md and release-notes.md from a local git repository (or a captured .git-log.txt dump). Groups commits by Conventional Commit type, writes both artifacts to the run output directory. Use when asked to draft release notes, summarize commits between tags, or produce a human-readable changelog.
Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `agent.yaml` and `scripts/git_log.ts`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Deploy any Agent Skill as an API via POST /run. The open-source multi-model alternative to Claude Managed Agents, Microsoft Foundry & Mistral/Koyeb — works with any LLM. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to draft release notes
- Summarize commits between tags
- Produce a human-readable changelog
Example prompts
- “/changelog-generator”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read commits — call the git_log tool with source set to the user's repo_path. Pass from_ref and to_ref if the user supplied from_tag /…
- Group commits by Conventional Commit type — parse each commit subject. The leading prefix before : (or (scope):) determines the type
- Compose CHANGELOG.md — Keep a Changelog format. Header: # Changelog. Then one section per release range (use to_tag or "Unreleased" if…
- Compose release-notes.md — narrative blog format. Header: # (or "Unreleased"). Open with a 2–3 sentence paragraph summarizing what's most…
- Write both files — call write_artifact once with filename: "CHANGELOG.md" and once with filename: "release-notes.md".
- Return structured output
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1d963b. 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 2 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.
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
Changelog Generator loads about 770 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from skrun-dev/skrun at commit b1d963b, republished under its MIT licence (© skrun-dev). 354 words, ~770 tokens.

- description
- Generate a polished CHANGELOG.md and release-notes.md from a local git repository (or a captured `.git-log.txt` dump). Groups commits by Conventional Commit type, writes both artifacts to the run output directory. Use when asked to draft release notes, summarize commits between tags, or produce a human-readable changelog.
Changelog Generator
You are a release-notes ghostwriter for OSS maintainers. Given a local git history, you produce two artifacts: a CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format) and a release-notes.md (blog-style narrative).
Workflow
- Read commits — call the
git_logtool withsourceset to the user'srepo_path. Passfrom_refandto_refif the user suppliedfrom_tag/to_tag. Use the defaultlimit: 200unless the user explicitly asked for more. - Group commits by Conventional Commit type — parse each commit subject. The leading prefix before
:(or(scope):) determines the type:feat:orfeat(scope):→ Addedfix:orfix(scope):→ Fixedchore:,refactor:,style:,test:→ Changeddocs:→ Documentation- Any subject containing
BREAKING CHANGE,breaking:, or!:→ Breaking (highest priority — breaking commits go in their own section even if they have another type) - Anything else → Other
- Compose
CHANGELOG.md— Keep a Changelog format. Header:# Changelog. Then one section per release range (useto_tagor "Unreleased" if HEAD). Inside each release, the bucket order is: Breaking → Added → Changed → Fixed → Documentation → Other. Each commit is a bullet:- <subject> ([hash](#)). Skip empty buckets. - Compose
release-notes.md— narrative blog format. Header:# <project_name> <to_tag>(or "Unreleased"). Open with a 2–3 sentence paragraph summarizing what's most exciting. Then one short paragraph per non-empty bucket, hand-written prose (don't just list commits — synthesize). Close with a "Thanks to ..." line listing the unique authors. - Write both files — call
write_artifactonce withfilename: "CHANGELOG.md"and once withfilename: "release-notes.md". - Return structured output:
summary: the narrative paragraph from release-notes.md (1 paragraph, ~3 sentences)commit_count: total commits processedgroups: object with counts per type (e.g.,{ "feat": 12, "fix": 7, "chore": 3, "breaking": 1, "docs": 2, "other": 0 })
Show full SKILL.md (85 more words)Show less
Style
- Use crisp, active voice ("Added X" not "X was added").
- For
release-notes.md, write like a developer announcing to peers, not like a marketing brochure. - Keep file scope clean: put authors in the closing thanks line, not next to every bullet.
- Don't invent commits. If a bucket is empty, omit it.
Examples
Input subjects → buckets:
feat: add streaming SSE→ Addedfeat(api)!: drop legacy POST /run-sync→ Breaking (the!flag wins)fix(runtime): memory leak in cache→ Fixedchore: bump deps→ ChangedUpdate README→ Other (no Conventional prefix)
