Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned teambit/bit at 825ff30487.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automatically generates release notes from commit messages. It parses a repository's commit history, extracts relevant information from commit messages (e.g., issue numbers, feature descriptions), and formats this into human-readable release notes suitable for distribution to users or internal teams. The generated release notes can be customized based on predefined templates or configurations.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks: Reduce the manual effort involved in compiling release notes after each deployment cycle.
  • Improving consistency: Ensure consistent formatting and content across all release announcements.
  • Linking commits to issues: Automatically include issue tracker references (e.g., Jira tickets) within release notes for better traceability.
  • Generating changelogs: Create a comprehensive history of changes in your project, easily accessible to developers and users.

Key capabilities

  • Commit message parsing
  • Issue tracking integration
  • Release note formatting
  • Customizable templates

Example prompts

  • "Generate release notes for the main branch."
  • "Create a release notes file in Markdown format from the last 5 commits."
  • "Generate release notes, including Jira ticket numbers from commit messages."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on well-formatted and consistent commit messages. Ensure your team adheres to a defined commit message convention for optimal results.
