Now the goal of this plugin is simple. Explain the release done by our developers. Now you might ask me why even do that really simple
- I don’t want to go through the code to find where the setting or option is located at on the newest release
- I don’t want to go through the merge files on to figure out what was fixed or what feature was released
- There are other non technical users like Marketing or Tier 1/L1 support coworkers who don’t understand the tech jargon.
So this solves the above. Partially because I want to be lazy and it can be automated so why not. It also makes other workers more productive by not going through a goose chase on what’s new about the release.
Let’s talk Tech stack
It just uses GitHub CLI : https://cli.github.com/ to authenticate the account. So it uses this to fetch the release that’s it. Now just call the skill /release-explainer [link to release].
That’s it. Oh you can find more information on the skill here: https://github.com/jeffsurridge/NiceAiSkills/tree/main/release-explainer
Here’s an example:
