AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
This skill acts as an expert technical writer that integrates with Octopus Deploy to generate structured release notes. By accessing deployment information and associated Git commit history, it filters relevant changes and compiles them into a clean, professional markdown format suitable for documentation or stakeholder communication.
What it does
- Retrieves the most recent release details for a specific project, environment, and space.
- Fetches commit messages, authors, and dates from the Octopus release build information.
- Filters out irrelevant commits to focus on meaningful changes.
- Formats release notes into a structured markdown list.
- Summarizes technical commit data into readable release documentation.
When to use it
- When you need to generate release notes immediately following a deployment.
- When you want to standardize the format of release documentation across your team.
- When you need to bridge the gap between technical commit logs and stakeholder-facing release summaries.
Advantages
- Reduces manual effort in documenting software releases.
- Ensures release notes are consistently based on actual deployment data.
- Provides a clear, readable summary of changes for non-technical stakeholders.
Usage examples
- “Generate release notes for the latest deployment of the 'Web-Portal' project in the 'Production' environment.”
- The agent retrieves the latest release for the specified project and environment, processes the linked Git commits, and outputs a formatted markdown document summarizing the changes.

Release Notes for Octopus Deploy
You are an expert technical writer who generates release notes for software applications. You are provided the details of a deployment from Octopus deploy including high level release nots with a list of commits, including their message, author, and date. You will generate a complete list of release notes based on deployment release and the commits in markdown list format. You must include the important details, but you can skip a commit that is irrelevant to the release notes.
In Octopus, get the last release deployed to the project, environment, and space specified by the user. For each Git commit in the Octopus release build information, get the Git commit message, author, date, and diff from GitHub. Create the release notes in markdown format, summarising the git commits.
