What You Can Do

You can feed Claude your internal changelog, git history, and sprint retrospectives, and it will generate polished, player-friendly patch notes that translate developer jargon into accessible language. The skill supports three output styles—brief bullet points, detailed explanations, or full commentary—and automatically detects and applies your team's tone and voice guidelines for consistency.

Features

Parse multiple data sources

internal changelogs, git history, sprint retrospectives, balance change documents, and QA bug records

Generate three output styles

brief (bullets), detailed (with context), or full (with developer commentary)

Auto-detect tone and voice

reads `.claude/docs/technical-preferences.md`, `PATCH-NOTES-STYLE.md`, and community tone guides to match your brand voice

Version-specific filtering

targets specific releases (e.g., 1.2.0) and excludes irrelevant changes

Fallback chain

automatically searches git logs, sprint data, and design documents if primary changelog is missing

Quality validation

flags missing changelog data upfront and guides you to generate internal changelogs first

Argument support

accepts version number and style flags via simple command syntax

Community-manager optimized

designed for non-technical communicators managing player relations

Example Output

Input: patch-notes 2.5.1 --style detailed

Output:

Patch Notes 2.5.1

Water3.8(35)
Water Quality Health Risk Assessment

You can convert raw water quality test results into comprehensive health risk assessments that connect detected contaminants to specific health endpoints and vulnerable populations. The skill identifies probable exposure pathways, prioritizes intervention urgency, and recommends proportionate remediation strategies grounded in epidemiological evidence and regulatory standards. This enables you to communicate complex contamination findings to diverse stakeholders—from technical regulators to community residents—with clear, actionable risk determinations.

Air Quality Data Analysis & Interpretation
$30
Air Quality Data Analysis & Interpretation

You can rapidly ingest raw monitoring data from multiple air quality stations, validate instrument quality and detect data gaps, calculate AQI and NAAQS compliance metrics, identify pollution episodes and exceedance events, and generate scientifically rigorous technical reports suitable for EPA, state regulators, and local air districts. The skill handles the computational complexity of regulatory air quality analysis while ensuring defensibility for environmental compliance projects.

Launch Checklist
$40
Launch Checklist

This skill generates detailed, role-specific launch readiness checklists that scan your codebase, content systems, and infrastructure for common launch blockers. It automatically detects code quality issues (TODOs, debug statements, placeholders), validates build health, checks content calendars and store readiness, and creates structured sign-off documents for each department. You can run it in dry-run mode to preview the checklist or execute it to generate official pre-launch documentation with approval tracking.

Occupational Exposure Assessment Framework
$45
Occupational Exposure Assessment Framework

You can systematically evaluate workplace exposures by identifying hazards, characterizing exposure scenarios, comparing monitoring data against regulatory limits (OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs), and developing justified control strategies using the hierarchy of controls. This framework enables you to produce defensible assessments that meet occupational health standards and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Forensic Toxicology Evidence Analysis
$30
Forensic3.9(28)
Forensic Toxicology Evidence Analysis

You can rigorously analyze toxicological data from postmortem samples, environmental matrices, and crime scenes using forensic standards. This skill helps you interpret analytical results (GC-MS, LC-MS, immunoassay), establish toxicological significance based on concentration thresholds, link chemical evidence to sources and timelines, and prepare scientifically sound expert testimony that withstands adversarial cross-examination.

Pr Description Writer
