## What release-notes does, in the publisher's words

Draft the changelog entry for a release by reading every commit since the last tag against its own diff, ruling on each one, and writing what survives to CHANGELOG.md and to a scratch file the release itself can publish.

The ruling is the point. A model asked for release notes writes them well and leaves changes out, so every commit in the range gets a row saying whether a person running the software can observe it, and the table is on the screen before a word of the entry is written.

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/releasetools/agent-plugins/HEAD/plugins/release-notes/README.md
