Create user-facing App Store release notes by collecting and summarizing all user-impacting changes since the last git tag (or a specified ref). Use when asked to generate a comprehensive release changelog, App Store "What's New" text, or release notes based on git history or tags.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

9 rules. 7 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 7

    Common

    Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Run scripts/collect_release_changes.sh from the repo root to gather commits and touched files.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    If needed, pass a specific tag or ref: scripts/collect_release_changes.sh v1.2.3 HEAD.

    line 15
  3. Common:

    If no tags exist, the script falls back to full history.

    line 16
  4. Common:

    Write short, benefit-focused bullets for each user-facing change.

    line 24
  5. Common:

    Use clear verbs and plain language.

    line 25
  6. Common:

    Prefer 5 to 10 bullets unless the user requests a different length.

    line 26
  7. Common:

    Ensure every bullet maps back to a real change in the range.

    line 29
  8. Common:

    Check for duplicates and overly technical wording.

    line 30
  9. Common:

    Ask for clarification if any change is ambiguous or possibly internal-only.

    line 31

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

App Store Changelog

Overview

Generate a comprehensive, user-facing changelog from git history since the last tag, then translate commits into clear App Store release notes.

Workflow

1) Collect changes

  • Run scripts/collect_release_changes.sh from the repo root to gather commits and touched files.
  • If needed, pass a specific tag or ref: scripts/collect_release_changes.sh v1.2.3 HEAD.
  • If no tags exist, the script falls back to full history.

2) Triage for user impact

  • Scan commits and files to identify user-visible changes.
  • Group changes by theme (New, Improved, Fixed) and deduplicate overlaps.
  • Drop internal-only work (build scripts, refactors, dependency bumps, CI).

3) Draft App Store notes

  • Write short, benefit-focused bullets for each user-facing change.
  • Use clear verbs and plain language; avoid internal jargon.
  • Prefer 5 to 10 bullets unless the user requests a different length.

4) Validate

  • Ensure every bullet maps back to a real change in the range.
  • Check for duplicates and overly technical wording.
  • Ask for clarification if any change is ambiguous or possibly internal-only.

Commit-to-Bullet Examples

The following shows how raw commits are translated into App Store bullets:

Raw commit messageApp Store bullet
fix(auth): resolve token refresh race condition on iOS 17• Fixed a login issue that could leave some users unexpectedly signed out.
feat(search): add voice input to search bar• Search your library hands-free with the new voice input option.
perf(timeline): lazy-load images to reduce scroll jank• Scrolling through your timeline is now smoother and faster.

Internal-only commits that are dropped (no user impact):

  • chore: upgrade fastlane to 2.219
  • refactor(network): extract URLSession wrapper into module
  • ci: add nightly build job

Example Output

What's New in Version 3.4

• Search your library hands-free with the new voice input option.
• Scrolling through your timeline is now smoother and faster.
• Fixed a login issue that could leave some users unexpectedly signed out.
• Added dark-mode support to the settings screen.
• Improved load times when opening large photo albums.

Output Format

  • Title (optional): "What's New" or product name + version.
  • Bullet list only; one sentence per bullet.
  • Stick to storefront limits if the user provides one.

  • scripts/collect_release_changes.sh: Collect commits and touched files since last tag.
