Release Notes Writer

On each release, a writer agent pulls the merged work since the last release, drafts a user-facing changelog grouped into New, Improved, and Fixed in your house voice, self-edits against a quality bar, and lands one approval before you publish.

What it installs

Agents 1

  • Release Notes Writer

    Turns merged PRs and issues into a user-facing changelog in your house voice.

Workflows 1

  • Draft release notes

    Gather merged work, categorize, draft the changelog, self-edit against the quality bar, and approve.

Documents 1

  • Product-writing voice guide

    Your house voice for release notes — fill in the tone, banned words, and example phrasings the writer should follow.

Goals 1

  • Every release ships with clear, user-facing notes

    Release notes exist so users always know what changed and why it matters — no release should ship silently or with committer-speak nobody outside the team can read.

Skills 2

  • release-notes

    Turn merged tickets, PRs, and changelogs into user-facing release notes: extract what changed / who it affects / why it matters, categorize into features, improvements, fixes, breaking changes, and deprecations, and lead every entry with the user benefit. Adapted from phuryn/pm-skills/release-notes.

  • product-writing-voice

    Apply a plain, direct, honest product-writing voice: ban corporate fluff ('excited to announce', 'seamless', 'leverage'), lead with the problem or result, use numbers over adjectives, and strip AI tells (staccato fragments, three-beat reveals, parallel ad-copy). Adapted from getsentry/skills/blog-writing-guide.

Requirements

What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.

  • Connected repository — The agent reads merged pull requests, commits, and closed issues from your connected repository to gather what shipped since the last release. It only reads and drafts — it never publishes — and pauses for your approval before anything goes out. Until you connect it, it works from the release exports you attach.
