Release Notes Agent
Replaces a $65k Documentation Engineer. Reads commits, ships a changelog + version bump.
The Problem
An SMB or small dev team spends $65k/yr on a Documentation Engineer who writes release notes, bumps versions, tags releases, and keeps the changelog clean. The work is mechanical: parse conventional commits, group by type, write a human summary, push.
The Outcome
Push to `main` → agent reads conventional commits since last tag, drafts the changelog entry in your voice, bumps semver, opens a release PR with notes + version bump for human approval.
Day in the Life
1.
On every push to main: parses conventional commits since last tag
2.
Within 60s: drafts the changelog entry in your project's voice + bumps semver correctly
3.
Opens a release PR with the notes, version bump, and Slack ping for sign-off
