First, summarize what it does, its dependencies, license status if identifiable, and any risks. Show the exact files you propose to add under .agents/skills/release-description/. Do not write files or run scripts until I approve.

After I approve, install the complete skill folder, including required referenced files, into that project location. Verify it is discoverable, then tell me its actual invocation name and how to use it. Do not claim it is installed until you have verified it.

Release Description

Update oneLinerDescription in scripts/release-body.js before each release.

Steps

1. Find the latest release tag

git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -1

2. List commit titles since that tag

git log --oneline <tag>..HEAD

If there are no commits since the tag, stop — nothing to update.

3. Analyze the commits

Categorize by Conventional Commits prefix:

Prefix	Category
`feat:`	New features
`fix:`	Bug fixes
`perf:`	Performance improvements
`refactor:`	Refactors / internal changes
`chore:`, `docs:`, `ci:`	Maintenance (mention only if significant)
No prefix	Read the title to infer category

4. Write the one-liner

Compose a single sentence that summarizes the release at a high level. Rules:

Start with "This version..." or "This release..."
Be concise — one sentence, no bullet points
Highlight the most impactful changes — lead with the biggest features or fixes
Group similar changes — e.g. "several bug fixes" instead of listing each one
Use plain language — this is user-facing, not developer-facing
Don't mention every commit — summarize the theme

Examples of good one-liners:

"This version adds community filtering, a copy user ID menu item, and several bug fixes."
"This version introduces feed improvements and performance optimizations."
"This release adds reply threading enhancements and fixes timezone display issues."

5. Update the constant

Edit oneLinerDescription in scripts/release-body.js (around line 104–105):

const oneLinerDescription = 'Your new one-liner here.';

6. Verify

Read the updated line back to confirm it looks right. The string should:

Be a single sentence
End with a period
Not contain backticks or markdown
