Release & changelog harness
Make releases understandable: every version bump has structured intent that agents and humans can read in git—not only in a maintainer’s head or a GitHub Releases textarea.
This skill is meta harness culture (which tool, which gates, which docs). It is not a full tutorial for every package manager.

| Expert lens | Verdict on “use JS Changesets everywhere” |
|---|---|
| JS monorepo maintainer | Strong default: .changeset/*.md + changeset version beats hand-editing five package.json files. |
| Dart / Flutter publisher | Weak fit as-is: pub uses tags + CHANGELOG.md; monorepos often use Melos version / changelog, not npm Changesets. |
| Rust / Go shipper | Use release-plz, cargo-release, or git-cliff—forcing Changesets adds alien workflow. |
| Agent operator | Wins when notes live as small structured files in git agents can read and PR—not prose-only in Slack. |
Multi-repo steward (~/mcp) |
One legibility contract across siblings; different generators per ecosystem is fine. |
| Skill Steward charter | Teach when + gate + doc placement; link to upstream docs; do not paste 200-line configs into SKILL.md. |
