Documentation

README

Excerpt

/minutes-release-notes

Draft release notes that explain why a Minutes release matters without making users decode the commit history. Produce a draft only. Do not create, edit, or publish a GitHub release unless the user explicitly asks.

Inputs

Collect:

the new version, such as v0.22.0
the previous stable tag, or an explicit starting ref
the target ref, normally HEAD
the release channel, normally stable or preview
any known breaking changes, migrations, compatibility notes, or contributor credits

Resolve missing refs from the repository instead of guessing:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0
git log <previous-tag>..HEAD --pretty='%s (%h)'

When HEAD is already tagged, resolve the previous tag from its parent so the range does not collapse to zero commits:
