Release Note Weaver Skill

When To Use

Use this skill when an agent has completed local repo work and needs evidence-backed release-candidate notes, PR body material, or launch-safe summaries.

Inputs

• A local repository path.
• docs/TASKS.md with completed and open checklist items.
• Optional docs/VERIFY.md or docs/RELEASE_CANDIDATE.md with exact verification commands.
• Optional git history.

Side-Effect Boundaries

This skill only reads local files and prints Markdown. It must not create GitHub PRs, push branches, publish packages, tag releases, or edit release notes in place.

Approval Requirements

No approval is required for local read-only note generation. Explicit approval is required before using the generated notes in external systems or performing any GitHub operation.

Examples

release-note-weaver . > /tmp/release-notes.md
release-note-weaver ../some-repo --no-git

Validation

Run:

npm test
npm run check
npm run smoke

Check that every public claim in the generated note is backed by a task, verification line, or commit.
