SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms technical pull request activity and deployment changes into concise, stakeholder-friendly changelogs, removing the need for manual summarization and translation of engineering changes into business-facing language.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PR extraction and analysis: Identify individual PRs in a merge or branch range and extract titles and descriptions for summarization.
  • Classification and mapping: Classify changes into categories (New Features, Bug Fixes, Enhanced User Experience, plus a dynamic category) and map changed file paths to projects in monorepos.
  • Audience-focused formatting: Produce brief, non-technical bullet points organized by category or project for release notes and deployment announcements.
  • Use Case: After merging a release branch into main, generate a one-page release note highlighting user-facing features, fixes, and UX improvements for product and executive stakeholders.

Quick Start

Create concise release notes summarizing PRs merged into main for the latest deployment, organized by New Features, Bug Fixes, Enhanced User Experience, and an appropriate fourth category.
