VS Code Release Features Writer

This skill turns the features you worked on in a VS Code milestone into polished, user-focused release note sections. It gathers the features you own from GitHub using the gh CLI, then documents every one of them in the milestone's release notes file.

Use this skill when the user wants to draft or update the feature sections of a milestone's release notes based on the issues and test plan items they worked on.

Prerequisites

• Prefer the GitHub MCP server for all GitHub queries when it is available. Use its issue search and issue read capabilities to run the queries and read the bodies, labels, and comments described below.
• Fall back to the gh CLI only when the GitHub MCP server is not available. In that case, ensure it is authenticated (gh auth status); the gh commands below implement the same queries.
• Queries use @me, so results are scoped to the authenticated user.

Input parameters

• Milestone name: If the user does not provide a milestone name, ask the user for it. Do not continue until you have the milestone name.
