Can I see what was filtered out during the process?

Yes, the skill saves a 'filtered-commits.md' file in the 'releases-docs/temp-files/' directory, which explicitly lists both kept and excluded commits for your review.

How does this skill identify which commits to include?

The skill uses a range between the latest release tag and the current HEAD, then applies a filter to exclude version bumps, CI-only changes, and merge commits without user-facing value.

How are the changes categorized?

Changes are automatically grouped into New Features, Improvements, Performance, Bug Fixes, and Internal categories based on prefixes and PR labels.

Does this skill require the GitHub CLI?

Yes, it utilizes 'gh' API commands to fetch metadata, labels, and descriptions from Pull Requests to provide more context than raw commit messages.

Generates structured, professional release notes for Bit projects by analyzing Git commits and GitHub Pull Requests.

This skill automates the end-to-end process of creating comprehensive release documentation for the Bit ecosystem. By interfacing directly with the GitHub API, it fetches commit history, retrieves Pull Request details, and applies intelligent filtering to remove non-user-facing noise like CI updates and version bumps. It automatically categorizes changes into standardized sections—such as New Features, Bug Fixes, and Performance—ensuring that every release follows Bit's specific architectural clarity and documentation guidelines while maintaining a transparent audit trail through intermediate files.
