Does it automatically create the GitHub release?

No, it generates a polished markdown draft for your review. This ensures you can edit the tone or add specific context before manually publishing the release.

Does this skill support conventional commits?

Yes, it uses conventional commit prefixes like feat, fix, docs, and chore to automatically categorize your release notes into logical sections.

What version ranges can I specify?

You can request notes 'since last release', for a specific range like 'v1.0.0...v1.1.0', or for 'all changes' from the beginning of the repository.

Can I use it if I don't have local git access?

Yes, if git is not available (such as in a restricted Cowork session), you can paste your commit messages directly and the skill will parse the text to generate the notes.

How does it handle breaking changes?

It scans for 'BREAKING CHANGE' or '!' prefixes in commits, places them at the top of the notes with warning emojis, and prompts you to include migration guidance.
