SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the guesswork and inconsistency of writing or finishing release notes by deriving them from commit/PR history and mapping changes into the project’s established emoji-based structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release-note generation from repo history: Identifies the last tag, enumerates commits since that tag, and detects which parts of the codebase changed (runtime, frontend, challenges, configuration, i18n, etc.).
  • Iconography-driven categorization: Assigns changes to the correct release section using the project’s emoji conventions (e.g., Runtime, Challenges, Frontend/UI, Docker, Bugfixes, I18N, DevOps/Config).
  • Templates for major/minor/hotfix: Produces release notes that follow the correct formatting patterns, including disclaimers for breaking/policy-impacting changes.
  • Completion of existing drafts: Fills missing sections, standardizes kudos attribution, and ensures the final ordering and content coverage match the checklist.

Quick Start

Use the generate-release-notes skill to create a complete release-note draft for the current version by summarizing changes since the latest tag and formatting them with the correct section emojis and kudos lines.
