Generate OpenVINO GenAI release notes from commits since the latest release. Use when: preparing release notes, summarizing a release branch, or comparing the latest release tag with the current release branch.
# Generate Release Notes Generates release notes for `openvinotoolkit/openvino.genai` from commits added after the latest release tag and writes them to a Markdown file. ## Procedure ### Step 1: List Release Commits Run the bundled script from the repository root: ```bash bash .github/skills/generate-release-notes/list_release_commits.sh ``` ### Step 2: Check Out the Release Branch Read the `Current release branch` reported by the script and remove the `upstream/` prefix to get the local release branch name. For example, use `releases/2026/4` for `upstream/releases/2026/4`. Check out the local release branch: ```bash git checkout <release-branch> ``` If checkout fails for any reason, stop immediately without creating or modifying the release notes. Ask the user to check out the release branch cleanly, then rerun this skill. ### Step 3: Generate Release Notes If a commit subject does not provide enough information, inspect the currently checked-out release branch's source code, public APIs, tests, bindings, samples, or documentation to prepare an accurate description. Group commits into categories: - Features - LLM Bench, WWB Tools - JS Bindings - Other Changes - Docs Updates - Discontinued - Deprecated Create a Markdown file named `release_notes_YYYY.N.md` with the following template: ```markdown # OpenVINO™ GenAI Release Notes YYYY.N ## Features ## LLM Bench, WWB Tools ## JS Bindings ## Other Changes ## Docs Updates ## Discontinued ## Deprecated ```
