Release Notes from Commits

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create accurate, customer-facing release notes from the actual commits between product tags, so changelogs reflect what users will notice instead of internal implementation details or upstream summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Commit-based release notes: Summarizes user-facing changes directly from git history between tags.
• Impact-focused filtering: Separates features, improvements, and bug fixes that matter to end users from internal plumbing, tests, and chores.
• Version documentation workflow: Supports documenting missing releases, checking release dates, identifying upstream base versions, and cross-checking against vendor notes for completeness.
• Use case: Generate notes for a new VeloDB Core or Apache Doris based release so product docs clearly explain what changed, who is affected, and whether the change is visible in the product.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to generate release notes for the commits between two tags and include only user-visible changes grouped into New Features, Improvements, and Bug Fixes.
