What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to prepare the public release notes for the REA project. It has the agent collect the Git history and pull request data since the last published release, then rewrite the newest changelog section in plain user-focused language. It also credits contributors in a verified way and keeps the release notes in sync with the Release Please release pull request. The skill states that it only prepares notes and does not authorize merging, tagging, or publishing.

Great for

  • Maintainers of the REA project preparing a new release
  • Release managers who need accurate contributor attribution in release notes
  • Developers working on REA release tooling and changelog workflows

Skip it if

  • Projects other than REA, since it hardcodes REA's repository, tag format and scripts (wrong repository, wrong output)
  • Anyone wanting to publish or merge releases automatically, since the skill explicitly does not authorize those actions and the finalization steps change live pull requests (risk of unintended public changes if run without review)

Try asking

  • “Prepare the release notes for rea-agents version 2.0.0 from the git history since the last tag”
  • “Rewrite the newest changelog section in CHANGELOG.md for user impact and add contributor thanks”
  • “Check that the release PR body passes the changelog checker before publication”
