Release Note Editor

Convert a supplied change list into concise release notes with user benefits, migration notes, and traceable source references.

Usage instructions

Inputs: Commit summaries or change list, release version/date, target audience, and known limitations.

Example request: Write release notes for version 0.3.0 from this change list. Audience: existing users. Call out any required action and separate unfinished items.

Workflow:
1. Extract only changes present in the supplied material. Separate shipped work from proposals and incomplete features.
2. Group changes into added, improved, fixed, and changed behavior. Prefer concrete user-visible triggers and outcomes.
3. Identify breaking changes, required user actions, data migrations, and known limitations without guessing missing details.
4. Write a short release introduction followed by the grouped notes using references/release-template.md.
5. Return a source mapping for each note and unresolved questions separately.

Quality checks: Every note traces to a supplied change. No fabricated performance percentages, dates, rollout status, or compatibility guarantees. Keep internal implementation detail only when it affects users.

Dependencies

No runtime dependencies. Reading local files is required; browser or spreadsheet access is optional where stated in the workflow.

Installation

1. Download and inspect the ZIP package. It contains instructions and a reference template; no executable installer is included.
2. Extract the contents into $CODEX_HOME/skills/skillstore-release-note-editor/ (default ~/.codex/skills/skillstore-release-note-editor/) for Codex, or the Skill directory documented by your agent.
3. Check that SKILL.md sits directly inside the Skill directory. Restart or reload your agent if needed for discovery.
4. Invoke skillstore-release-note-editor with the inputs listed in the usage instructions. Review the generated deliverable against the included quality checks.
