Quick brief
Use this skill when an agent needs to keep release notes current throughout a development cycle instead of assembling them manually at the end. It fits repos that already use GitHub pull requests and labels to organize changes.
How it works
What this skill actually does
Invoke it instead of using Release Drafter as a raw product when the operator task is to configure the workflow, shape categories, update templates, and verify that merged pull requests flow into a usable release draft.
This is skill-shaped because the boundary is tight: continuously draft release notes from merged PR metadata. It is not a generic GitHub Actions or release management listing.
