Draft release notes and an LLM go/no-go readiness advisory with four Agent SDK subagents
Comparison
Release-notes is the advisory half of the release pair. The two share the "release prep" idea but differ in kind:
| Workflow | Slug(s) | Kind | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
release-notes (this feature) |
release-notes |
Advisory (SDK) | Drafts a changelog + an LLM go/no-go. Does not block. Subscription-billed with depth budget caps. |
release-prep |
release-prep, release-gate |
Deterministic gate (agent team) | Runs real bandit / ruff / pytest / docstring checks against hard thresholds and returns an APPROVED / BLOCKED verdict. CLI-only. |
Reach for release-notes when you want the changelog written and a
recommendation. Reach for release-prep (attune workflow run release-gate) when you need an enforced gate on measured numbers. A
common flow is release-notes to draft the notes and read the
landscape, then release-prep to gate the actual ship.
Two adjacent tools the /release skill also exposes: dependency_check
(dependency audit / vulnerability scan) and secure_release (the
composite security pipeline).
