What it does

Generate Release Notes is an agent skill from teambit/bit. Generate comprehensive release notes for Bit from git commits and pull requests. Use when creating release notes, building changelogs, documenting version releases, or preparing a new Bit release.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 React, Vue.js, JavaScript and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered development workspaces with reusable components, architectural clarity and zero overhead.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating release notes
  • Building changelogs
  • Documenting version releases
  • Preparing a new Bit release

Example prompts

  • “/generate-release-notes”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup Temp Directory
  2. Determine the Commit Range
  3. Fetch Commits and Save to raw-commits.md
  4. Filter Commits and Save to filtered-commits.md
  5. Enrich Commit Information
  6. Categorize Changes
  7. Write Release Notes
  8. Save the Release Notes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 363a357. 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

Generate Release Notes loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 608 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
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 608 words (~2,169 tokens).

“This skill helps generate release notes for Bit following the established patterns and guidelines.”
