What it does

The process has four phases. Phase 1 (release notes) is where most of the work happens — present the draft for review before proceeding to later phases.

When your AI uses it

Use this skill whenever the user mentions preparing a release, bumping versions, writing release notes, tagging a release, or publishing

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • No script files in its folder

    Its folder holds text, not programs — but the instructions do tell your AI to run commands (see below).

    How we know

    Listed the 4 files in the skill’s folder on GitHub; none is a script or program.

  • Mentions 4 outside web addresses

    The instructions point your AI at these sites or APIs. Anything it sends there leaves your computer.

    How we know

    Web addresses in the SKILL.md, excluding GitHub and documentation sites: cyclonedx.org, docs.plannotator.ai, slsa.dev, x.com.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • Downloads a script and runs it in one step, unread

    Code run this way does whatever the other server sends at that moment — what you can read today is not necessarily what runs.

    How we know

Add it to your AI

Supported. Upload it once in Claude’s settings. Works on every plan, including Free.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

How Claude does this: support.claude.com · checked 28 Sep 2026 · “Supported” means documented by the vendor; Launch7 has not run it end to end
