changelog

Release notes without the archaeology.

Summarize recent releases, link PRs to tracker tickets, and see work in progress. Choose a technical update or one written for stakeholders.

Report generation is read-only. First-run setup saves the release and tracker configuration.

02 · Claude Code + Codex

quick-ask-me

A clearer brief before you build.

Define the objective and what success looks like, then answer at most six questions that affect the implementation. Finish with a brief, shared terms, and decisions worth keeping.

03 · Claude Code only

do-shit

Move an issue through delivery.

Plan work from GitHub, ClickUp, or Linear, coordinate specialist agents in isolated worktrees, and take PRs through verification and merge gates.

Start with a dry run

/real-skills:do-shit <issue-url> --dry-run

Replace <issue-url> with your ticket. Review the plan first; a full run can change code and merge PRs. Requires Claude Code agents and hooks.

Install once. Use in your repo.
