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 jmerta/codex-skills at 929ed6ca7e.

    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, jmerta-release-notes, allows AI agents to generate summaries and key information from software release notes. It can extract version numbers, new features, bug fixes, and known issues directly from provided text. The agent can then present this information in a structured or conversational format.

When to use it

  • Automated Release Summaries: Quickly create concise summaries of new releases for internal teams or external customers.
  • Feature Identification: Identify specific features included in a release based on user queries.
  • Bug Tracking Analysis: Extract and organize bug fixes from release notes into a tracking system.
  • Release Note Comparison: Compare changes between different versions by analyzing their respective release notes.

Key capabilities

  • Extracts version numbers
  • Identifies new features
  • Lists bug fixes
  • Highlights known issues

Example prompts

  • "Summarize the latest release notes for Project Phoenix."
  • "What are the new features in version 2.3.1 of the application?"
  • "List all bug fixes included in the 1.5 release."

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the output depends heavily on the structure and clarity of the input release notes. Poorly formatted or ambiguous release notes may yield less accurate results.
