Overview
Generate clear, user-facing App Store release notes from git history since the last tag (or a specified ref), focusing only on user-impacting changes.
Key Advantages
1.Automates the collection of commits and touched files between git tags or refs, reducing manual release-note prep work.
2.Enforces a user-centric triage step that filters out internal-only changes like CI, refactors, and dependency bumps.
3.Provides a structured output tailored to App Store "What’s New" constraints (short, benefit-focused bullet points).
4.Encourages consistent language and tone via reference guidelines, improving overall release note quality over time.
5.Supports flexible ranges (e.g., last tag to HEAD or custom refs) so it can be integrated into various release workflows.
Use Cases
- Creating App Store "What’s New" text for a new iOS or macOS release based on the latest git changes.
- Producing user-facing release notes for TestFlight or internal beta builds from recent commit history.
- Summarizing all user-impacting changes since a specific previous release tag for a major version update.
- Auditing which user-visible changes have accumulated since the last production deployment.
- Standardizing release notes across multiple teams by running the same changelog process on different repos.

**Judgment:** A focused, high-utility skill for teams that ship apps via the App Store and manage releases via git tags; particularly valuable when you want consistent, concise "What’s New" sections driven directly from commit history.
**Strengths:**
- Aligns closely with a common real-world workflow: gather commits since the last tag and turn them into App Store-ready bullets.
- Explicitly filters for user-visible changes and avoids internal noise (CI, refactors, dependency bumps).
- Encourages best practices (plain language, one-sentence bullets, 5–10 items) and respects storefront length limits when provided.
**Key Risks / Limitations:**
- Quality depends heavily on commit messages and tagging discipline; poorly written or inconsistent commits may lead to thin or ambiguous notes.
- Internal-only work might still leak into notes if commits are mislabeled or mixed (e.g., user-facing + refactor in one commit).
- Requires the user to correctly run the `scripts/collect_release_changes.sh` script and supply the results; misconfigured ranges or missing tags could produce incomplete or overly long changelogs.
**Recommended Scenarios:**
- You have an iOS/macOS app with a reasonably clean git history and tags per release, and you need fast, consistent App Store release notes.
- You want to standardize how different teams write "What’s New" text while still grounding every bullet in real code changes.
- You’re preparing a release with many commits and need help triaging which changes are truly user-facing vs. internal housekeeping.
