Write release notes or a CHANGELOG entry from a list of merged pull requests. Use when the user asks for release notes, a changelog entry, "what shipped", or a version summary, even if they don't name the format. Don't use for commit messages, PR descriptions, or marketing copy.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 167 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

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

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

    Write the entry the way the project's existing CHANGELOG.md does, so readers see one consistent style.

    line 8
  2. Very specific:

    Read the top two entries of CHANGELOG.md.

    line 12
  3. Distinctive:

    Read the list of merged PRs.

    line 13
  4. Distinctive:

    Write one line per user-visible change, in plain words, ending with the PR number.

    line 15
  5. Very specific:

    If any PR is labeled breaking, add it under Upgrade notes with what the reader must do.

    line 17
  6. Distinctive:

    If the version number or release date is missing, ask.

    line 26

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 167 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.

Release notes

Write the entry the way the project's existing CHANGELOG.md does, so readers see one consistent style.

Steps

  1. Read the top two entries of CHANGELOG.md. Copy their structure and tone.
  2. Read the list of merged PRs. Ask for it if you don't have one.
  3. Group PRs using references/format.md.
  4. Write one line per user-visible change, in plain words, ending with the PR number.
  5. Skip internal work: refactors, dependency bumps, typo fixes. Readers can't act on them.
  6. If any PR is labeled breaking, add it under Upgrade notes with what the reader must do.
  7. Insert the new entry above the previous one. Don't rewrite older entries.

Why these rules

The changelog is the one place users learn what changed. Noise buries the two lines they need, so keep only what changes their behavior. State the upgrade action explicitly because people skim for it.

Ask before guessing

If the version number or release date is missing, ask. Never invent one.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
