Generate App Store release notes from git history

This skill generates a comprehensive, user-facing changelog from a repository's git history since the last tag, then translates raw commits into clear App Store "What's New" release notes. It runs a four-step workflow: collect commits and touched files since the last tag or a specific tag/ref range (falling back to full history if no tags exist), triage them for user impact by grouping into New/Improved/Fixed themes and deduplicating overlaps while dropping internal-only work such as build scripts, refactors, dependency bumps, and CI changes, draft short benefit-focused bullets in plain language - typically 5 to 10 unless the user asks for a different length - and validate that every bullet maps back to a real change in the range, checking for duplicates or overly technical wording.

Use it when the user asks for App Store "What's New" text or release notes from git history, or needs raw commits turned into concise, user-facing release bullets. It explicitly drops internal-only commits with no user impact - a fastlane version bump, extracting a network wrapper into a module, or adding a nightly CI job are given as examples of changes that never make it into the output. Its own limitations restrict it to tasks that clearly match this scope, and it is not a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review; if a change is ambiguous or possibly internal-only, it asks for clarification rather than guessing.

Input is the repository's git history, collected with scripts/collect_release_changes.sh from the repo root - optionally passed a specific tag or ref range such as scripts/collect_release_changes.sh v1.2.3 HEAD. A raw commit like feat(search): add voice input to search bar becomes a bullet such as "Search your library hands-free with the new voice input option," and perf(timeline): lazy-load images to reduce scroll jank becomes "Scrolling through your timeline is now smoother and faster." Output is a bullet list, one sentence per bullet, with an optional title such as "What's New" or the product name and version:

What's New in Version 3.4

• Search your library hands-free with the new voice input option.
• Scrolling through your timeline is now smoother and faster.
• Fixed a login issue that could leave some users unexpectedly signed out.
• Added dark-mode support to the settings screen.
• Improved load times when opening large photo albums.

It draws on scripts/collect_release_changes.sh to collect commits and touched files, and references/release-notes-guidelines.md for the language, filtering, and QA rules applied to the notes. It respects any storefront character limit the user provides.

Mobile app teams and release managers who need App Store or Play Store release notes written from real commit history - benefit-focused, jargon-free, and stripped of internal-only work - instead of hand-summarizing a changelog for every release.
