Why

The old scripts/generate-release-log.mjs depended on already-generated GitHub releases to collect changes. If a release wasn't published (e.g., due to a failing deployment), those changes would be silently omitted from the changelog.

Since we already leverage an agent, we're replacing the script with a Claude Code skill that uses git log directly — no dependency on GitHub releases existing. Same git-based approach, just a skill instead of a standalone program.

How it works

  1. Ensure full history and tags — Unshallows the clone if needed and fetches all tags, so no commits are missed
  2. Determine range — Auto-detects the latest canary series from git tags, accepts a single to-tag (auto-finds previous via git describe), or accepts explicit <from-tag> <to-tag> arguments
  3. Collect commits — Runs git log --first-parent between the two tags, filtering out version bump commits
  4. Parse — Extracts PR number and title from each commit subject
  5. Categorize — Assigns each commit to Core, Documentation, Examples, or Misc using first-match-wins rules
  6. Resolve credits — Extracts GitHub usernames from author emails (noreply parsing + gh api lookup for non-noreply emails), excluding bots
  7. Write output — Generates release-<version>.txt in repo root with sectioned changelog and credits

What changed

  • Added: .agents/skills/generate-release-log/SKILL.md — the skill definition
  • Added: evals/ — 3 eval test cases (arg-from-to, arg-to, natural-language) with prompts and expected outputs
  • Deleted: scripts/generate-release-log.mjs — the old GitHub API-based script

**1 arg:** Use as to-tag.

- **Prerelease tag** (contains `-`, e.g. `-canary.`, `-beta.`, `-alpha.`): find previous tag via `git describe --tags --abbrev=0 <to-tag>^`. Use that as from-tag.
- **Stable tag** (bare `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, no `-` suffix): find the previous stable release. Parse the version — if minor > 0, use `v<major>.<minor-1>.0`. If minor == 0, find the highest stable tag from the previous major via `git tag -l 'v<major-1>.*.0' --sort=-version:refname | grep -v '-' | head -1`. Validate the derived tag exists with `git tag -l`.

P1 Badge Derive stable from-tag from previous patch first

For single-argument stable releases, the rule if minor > 0, use v<major>.<minor-1>.0 skips the patch component entirely, so generating a log for something like v16.2.1 would incorrectly start at v16.1.0 instead of v16.2.0. That pulls in already-released changes across an entire minor cycle and makes the release notes inaccurate for patch releases.

We'll probably want to detect if previous releases were backports or triggered from canary so we know if we should start from them or not. Alternatively we just require specifying start and end explicitly only

git log --first-parent --reverse --format='%s|||%aE' <from>..<to>

Filter out version bump commits matching `^v\d+\.\d+\.\d+(-canary\.\d+)?$`. If zero commits remain, report empty range and stop.

P2 Badge Expand version-bump filter beyond canary tags

The version-bump exclusion regex only handles optional -canary.N, but this skill explicitly supports other prerelease tags like beta/alpha. In beta/alpha release ranges, commits whose subject is just a version tag (for example vX.Y.Z-beta.1) will be misclassified as regular changes and appear in the changelog.

@codex re-review

Replace the old GitHub API-based script with a git-based agent skill
that captures every commit between canary tags. Includes eval snapshots
for 3 tag ranges to validate categorization consistency.
