What it does

Stable Release Notes is an agent skill from vaadin/web-components. Prepare GitHub release notes for a beta or stable web-components release. Adds a "Changes Since {previous}" block (breaking / behavior altering changes and new features only, since the previous minor) on top of the bot-generated "Changes Since" block in the draft.

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 and Design systems. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: A set of high-quality standards based web components for enterprise web applications. Part of Vaadin 20+.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “Changes Since {previous}”
  • “Changes Since”
  • “/stable-release-notes”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash(node:*), Bash(gh:*), Bash(git:*)

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Normalize {current}
  2. Resolve {previous} from alpha1
  3. Make sure both tags are available locally
  4. Generate release notes
  5. Filter the generated output
  6. Read the existing draft
  7. Build the new body
  8. Update the draft
  9. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f6e39b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash(node:*)
    • Bash(gh:*)
    • Bash(git:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git
    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, 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

Stable Release Notes loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 572 words (~1,218 tokens).

“Prepare the GitHub release notes draft for version $0 (e.g. 25.2.0-beta1, 25.2.0, v25.2.0-rc1).”
