AI-generated release notes and reports

AI-generated release notes with gh-aw means running an agent when a release is published, a branch is pushed, or a scheduled reporting window arrives so it can summarize merged work and produce a publishable report. gh-aw handles the GitHub-side output through safe outputs instead of direct write access from the agent.

Install the starter with gh aw add-wizard githubnext/agentics/release-notes.

# Release Notes Generator

Generate release notes for the published release.

Summarize the most important merged pull requests, user-visible fixes, documentation updates, and any upgrade or rollback notes. Create one issue containing the draft release notes and a short follow-up checklist for human review before publication elsewhere.

create-issue matters for security because the agent only proposes the release report. gh-aw validates the issue payload and creates the issue on the workflow’s behalf, which keeps repository writes bounded to the configured safe output.
