Automatic changelog

Overview

Writing release notes is one of those tasks everyone agrees is important but nobody wants to do. This preset eliminates that friction by automatically transforming your merged GitHub pull requests into customer-facing release notes every two weeks.

What this is for

This preset solves the chronic problem of release notes falling through the cracks. Even teams that are diligent about documenting changes in pull requests often struggle to translate that technical documentation into something customers can understand. The result? Release notes that are either too technical, inconsistently formatted, or never published at all.

The Automatic changelog preset bridges this gap by analyzing your merged PRs and generating concise, non-technical summaries automatically. It organizes changes into three categories (new features, improvements, and bug fixes) so your customers can quickly scan for what matters to them. Instead of spending an hour every two weeks combing through commits and PRs, you get a first draft delivered to you automatically.

Who should use this

Product managers who need to keep customers informed but don’t have time to dig through technical details. You’ll get a ready-to-publish draft that just needs a quick review before sharing with users.

Engineering managers at product companies who are responsible for customer communication but want to stay out of the weeds. This gives you visibility into what shipped without having to read every PR description.

Developer relations teams who publish regular updates to API changes or SDK releases. You’ll have a consistent format for communicating what’s new, making it easier for developers to stay current with your platform.

The prompt

List customer facing release notes from all the GitHub PR's merged in the last 14 days. Each PR should be a single line summary that's understandable for non-technical readers. Classify and order each PR as a new feature, improvement, or bug fix.
