What it does

Qv Addon Release Notes is an agent skill from tetherto/qvac. Generate release notes for addon packages (non-SDK inference addons, decoder, OCR). Use when preparing release notes or user asks to "generate release notes" for an addon package.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 npm. The repository describes itself as: Open-source local AI SDK - run AI on-device with no cloud, no API keys. Supports GGUF, RAG, image, music, and video generation, speech-to-text, P2P inference, and more… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing release notes
  • User asks to generate release notes for an addon package

Example prompts

  • “generate release notes”
  • “/qv-addon-release-notes”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify version and changes (mandatory version bump check)
  2. Collect PRs included in this release
  3. Generate Release Notes file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d92f697. 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

Qv Addon Release Notes loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 510 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Generate release notes for addon packages (non-SDK inference addons, decoder, OCR). Use when preparing release notes or user asks to "generate release notes" for an addon package.

Addon Release Notes Generator

What

Generate human-readable release notes for addon packages (non-SDK packages like inference addons, decoder, OCR). Collects changes, extracts PRs, validates version bump, and produces a formatted release notes file.

When to Use

  • Creating release notes for an addon package
  • User explicitly asks to "generate release notes" or "prepare release notes" while working in an addon package

Instructions

Step 1: Identify version and changes (mandatory version bump check)

Identify the full set of changes that will land in main for the PR, and validate the version bump in package.json against main:

  1. Find the PR base and head: The base is main. The head is the current branch/commit that the PR will merge.

  2. Compare against main:

    • Use a range like main...HEAD (or the PR base commit...HEAD) to list commits and diffs.
    • Always compare package.json between main and HEAD.
  3. Mandatory version bump check:

    • If the version in package.json is unchanged compared to main, stop and display this exact warning to the user:

    WARNING: VERSION BUMP REQUIRED The version in package.json is unchanged compared to main. If this PR includes any changes that must be released in the package, you must bump the package version, commit/push it and re-run this command.

  4. Do not include uncommitted changes or untracked files: If any uncommitted/untracked files are present, ignore them.

The goal is to produce a single, combined change set that reflects what will be merged: all commits on the PR branch versus main only.

Step 2: Collect PRs included in this release
  1. Extract PR numbers from commit messages in the range main...HEAD
    • Look for patterns like #123, (#123), or Merge pull request #123
  2. For each PR found, use gh pr view <number> to get:
    • PR title
    • PR number
    • PR URL
  3. Build a list of PRs to include in the release notes
Step 3: Generate Release Notes file

Create release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md with these guidelines:

Show full SKILL.md (204 more words)Show less
Format Requirements
  1. Title: # QVAC <package_name_readable> v{VERSION} Release Notes Replace <package_name_readable> with a corresponding name:

    • decoder-audio: Audio Decoder
    • embed-llamacpp: Embeddings Addon
    • llm-llamacpp: LLM Addon
    • translation-nmtcpp: NMT Addon
    • tts-onnx: TTS ONNX Addon
    • transcription-whispercpp: Transcription Whisper Addon
  2. Introduction: Write a brief 2-3 sentence summary of what this release brings

  3. Sections: Create each section using narrative prose style. Omit a section if there is no information related with it:

    • Breaking Changes: Lead with impact, explain what changed and why, provide clear migration steps with before/after code
    • New APIs: Describe what's possible now, show practical usage examples
    • Features: Explain benefits in user terms, not just what was added
    • Bug Fixes: Describe what was broken and how it's fixed
    • Other: Summarize briefly
  4. Pull Requests: At the end, include a "## Pull Requests" section listing all PRs in this release:

    markdown
    ## Pull Requests
    
    - [#123](https://github.com/tetherto/qvac/pull/123) - PR title here
    - [#124](https://github.com/tetherto/qvac/pull/124) - Another PR title
  5. Style Guidelines:

    • Use complete sentences, not bullet fragments
    • Lead with benefits/impact
    • Group related changes together
    • Add context where helpful (why this matters)
    • Keep code examples clean and commented
    • Remove internal jargon, make it accessible
    • Skip entries with no informational value -- generic entries like "Updated models" or "Bumped dependencies" without specific details should be omitted
Example

# QVAC OCR Addon v0.4.0 Release Notes

This release introduces automated GitHub releases and improves mobile test reliability.

## Features

### Automated GitHub Releases

The release process is now automated with enforced release notes. When a version bump is detected on merge to main, a GitHub release is automatically created using the corresponding release notes file.

## Bug Fixes

### Mobile E2E Test Workflow Fix

Fixed an issue where mobile E2E tests would fail when the "On PR Trigger" workflow was manually run via workflow_dispatch.

## Pull Requests

- [#67](https://github.com/tetherto/qvac/pull/67) - Fix mobile E2E tests workflow_dispatch
- [#70](https://github.com/tetherto/qvac/pull/70) - feat: automate GitHub releases with mandatory release notes
