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 florianbruniaux/claude-code-ultimate-guide at a10267c921.

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

About this skill

What it does

The Release Notes Generator skill automatically creates release notes from commit messages. It parses a repository's commit history, extracts relevant information from each commit message (like issue numbers and descriptions), and formats this into human-readable release notes. This significantly reduces the manual effort involved in documenting software releases.

When to use it

  • Automating Release Documentation: When you want to generate release notes directly from your Git repository's commit history, saving time and ensuring consistency.
  • Generating Notes for Internal Teams: Quickly produce a summary of changes for developers or internal stakeholders without needing to manually compile information.
  • Creating Public-Facing Changelogs: Produce formatted changelogs for public consumption, easily integrated into websites or documentation platforms.
  • Streamlining DevOps Workflows: Integrate release note generation into your CI/CD pipeline for automated releases and documentation updates.

Key capabilities

  • Parses Git commit history.
  • Extracts information from commit messages.
  • Formats extracted data into human-readable release notes.

Example prompts

  • "Generate release notes for the my-project repository."
  • "Create a changelog for version 1.2.0 of my-repo, using conventional commits."
  • "Summarize changes in the feature-branch branch as release notes."

Tips & gotchas

The skill relies on well-formatted commit messages; ensure your team follows a consistent commit message convention (e.g., Conventional Commits) for optimal results. Providing access to the Git repository is required for the skill to function.
