Patch Notes Explainer vs Release Notes from Commits
The short answer
Opposite ends of the same document. Release Notes from Commits writes notes for your users. The Patch Notes Explainer reads a game's notes and tells a player what changed for them.
Patch Notes Explainer
Paste any patch notes. Get the 20-second version, what changed for your role, and whether tonight is a play night.
- You paste
- Copy the notes, not the comments. Paste the official patch notes from the game site, launcher, or a Steam announcement. Skip Reddit arguments. Those are opinions, and the agent will treat them as facts if you mix them in.
- You get
- Tonight. Update and play. The insurance fix is worth it, and your rifle got kinder. Leave if the queue is all whiteout and you hate guessing.
- When to use it
- Use it when a patch drops and you want to know if your main got worse before you queue tonight.
- When to skip it
- It only knows the notes you paste. Undocumented changes and the meta that forms a week later are outside it.

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.
