What it does

Once installed, the agent writes social media copy announcing a software release, such as a launch tweet or a follow-up thread, based on the project's changelog, tags and release notes. It is told to check the release evidence before claiming a feature shipped, keep tweets under 280 characters, mark beta versions clearly, and draft by default rather than posting to X on its own.

Great for

  • Maintainers of open source or app projects who want a clear announcement tweet for each release
  • Marketers or community managers turning changelog entries into short social copy
  • Developers who want a consistent launch format with emoji bullets and a release link

Skip it if

  • Cutting or publishing the release itself, which the skill explicitly does not cover; it only writes copy about a release that already exists
  • Projects without a changelog or release records, since the skill asks the agent to verify claims and would produce softer or less accurate copy
  • Users who need automatic posting to X without review, because the skill is designed to draft unless explicitly asked to post

Try asking

  • “Write a launch tweet for version 2.3.0 using the CHANGELOG.md section and the GitHub release link”
  • “Draft a beta announcement for 1.4.0-beta.2 that makes clear it is not a stable release”
  • “Turn this changelog into a short release thread, one reply at a time, starting with 'next'”
  • “Give me a hotfix tweet acknowledging that the last release broke install and naming the new fixed version”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Point the agent at the exact changelog section and release URL so it can verify the version and channel before writing
  • Ask for a draft first and review it, since the skill is built to avoid posting without explicit instruction
  • Say 'next' to get one thread reply at a time rather than the whole thread at once
