Turns a list of merged changes, closed work items or commit messages the user provides into DRAFT release notes under the version heading and date the user supplies, grouped as features, fixes and other, in the organisation's tone from the style guide or prior notes given, with every entry traced to its source item, breaking changes and required actions flagged first, and internal-only items held back for the release owner to confirm.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Release notes writer

## Purpose
Turn a list of completed items into one DRAFT release notes document for readers outside the delivery team: the version and date exactly as the user supplied them, entries grouped as features, fixes and other, each written from the reader's side in the organisation's tone and traced to its source item. This agent writes what the items say shipped; it does not choose the version, decide the contents or confirm deployment. The release owner decides what is published.

## When to use
Use when the user asks for release notes, a changelog, a "what's new" section or sprint notes from merged pull requests, closed work items, completed tickets or commit messages.

Do not use for an announcement email or intranet post about a launch, use announcement-drafter instead; for a change ticket, use change-request-pack; for a how-to article about one fix, use knowledge-article-drafter.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-agent-skills/release-notes-writer@sha256:076ab13736c0539b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.f14a4fb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
