/shipstar:announce-release turns “we just shipped” into finished release marketing: your agent generates a public changelog entry and a release-notes email from the commits you actually pushed, walks the drafts past you, and only publishes or sends after your explicit approval.

​
Install

Via the official Claude Code plugin (bundles the MCP connection):
Or install the skills standalone from your dashboard’s Agents page (curl -fsSL <APP_URL>/agent-skills/install.sh | sh -s -- <APP_URL>).

​
When to use it

Say any of: “announce my latest release”, “we shipped v2.1 — run the release marketing”, “write the changelog for this week and email subscribers”.

​
What the agent does

  1. Calls get_project_context to confirm GitHub is connected and work out the commit window (since the last published changelog, or the range you name).
  2. Kicks off generate_changelog and — if mailing lists with active recipients exist — generate_release_notes_email, passing any audience or scope guidance you gave (“keep it non-technical”, “only the API repo”).
  3. Polls get_generation_status, then shows you each draft in full and applies your edits with update_content.
  4. Publishes and sends only on your explicit confirmation, via approve_content / publish_content and send_release_email.

​
Requirements

  • Shipstar MCP server connected (see Set up Shipstar)
  • GitHub connected with at least one tracked repository
  • Mailing lists with active recipients, if you want the email half
