What kind of changes does it prioritize in the notes?

It focuses on high-impact items including breaking SDK changes, new features in the UI or CLI, and significant updates to deployment configurations like Helm charts.

Is this skill limited to the AgentStack repository?

While optimized for AgentStack patterns and personas, its core logic of analyzing PRs via CLI can be adapted for other structured software projects.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, it uses the 'gh' command to fetch PR comments and metadata, allowing it to understand the context and impact of specific code changes.

Can I edit the release notes before they are published?

Yes, the skill generates a markdown draft that you can iterate on within the Claude interface to refine the messaging before final publication.

How does the skill determine the release scope?

The skill identifies the start commit by checking the latest stable version in the repository's install script and compares it to the target release tag using a specialized git utility script.
