Commit Message Fortune vs Release Notes from Commits
The short answer
Commit Message Fortune writes one good commit at a time. Release Notes from Commits turns many commits into notes for users. Better commits make better release notes, so they work as a pair.
Commit Message Fortune
Paste what the diff did. Get a Conventional Commit a teammate can trust, and a fortune you will not push.
- You paste
- Say what the diff did. One to five lines: the behavior that changed, the test you ran, and anything the message must not include. You do not need to paste a secret or a customer name to get a good subject.
- You get
- The cut. No customer name, no ticket you do not have, subject short enough to read in git log.
- When to use it
- Use it when the change works and you are about to type 'fix stuff' because the real sentence feels longer than the fix.
- When to skip it
- It writes from what you say the diff did. It does not read your repo, so it will not catch a change you forgot to mention.

Release Notes from Commits
Paste your commit subjects. Get clean release notes: user-facing changes, internals separated, breaking changes called out.
- You paste
- Grab the commits. Copy commit subjects (and short bodies if useful) since the last tag or release. `git log v2.3.0..HEAD --oneline` is enough. Drop pure WIP noise if you want; the agent will flag thin ones anyway.
- You get
- Paste-ready notes. A short release block: What's new, Fixes, For API integrators, and Internal—no invented features, no marketing fluff.
- When to use it
- Use it right after you tag a release, when the commits are 'fix typo', 'wip', and three real features buried in the noise.
- When to skip it
- It writes from commit subjects. It cannot see what a vague commit actually changed, so it lists those as unclear instead of guessing.
