Integrate Oz changelog skill into create_release workflow by vikvang · Pull Request #10832 · warpdotdev/warp

vikvang · 2026-05-13T19:07:04Z

Description

Replace the warpdotdev/generate-changelog GitHub Action in the generate_changelogs job with the Oz changelog-draft skill (oz-agent-action). This makes the release changelog generation AI-powered, using the same skill that was landed in #10280.

What changed

SKILL.md: Step 8 now produces a third output file changelog-release.json with the {newFeatures, improvements, bugFixes, images, oz_updates} schema expected by the Slack payload builder and in-app changelog.json steps.
create_release.yml: The generate_changelogs job now:
1. Runs oz-agent-action with a prompt to follow the changelog-draft skill workflow
2. A bridge step reads changelog-release.json and sets outputs.changelog so all downstream steps (Slack post, GCS upload) work unchanged
3. Fixes .image to .images key in the changelog.json builder for schema consistency

How it works

The Oz agent runs the full skill workflow (fetch PRs, classify contributors, extract feature flags, classify unmarked PRs, assemble draft) and writes three files:

changelog-draft.md — human-reviewable markdown
changelog-draft.json — machine-readable audit artifact
changelog-release.json — release-pipeline-compatible JSON (new)

The bridge step loads changelog-release.json into steps.generate_changelog.outputs.changelog, maintaining the same interface the downstream Slack and GCS steps expect.

Testing

Validated YAML structure (1788 lines, all key references intact)
Generated a real changelog-release.json from the latest stable release range (v0.2026.05.06 → v0.2026.05.13): 2 new features, 10 improvements, 27 bug fixes, 1 image
Ran the exact downstream jq transforms (Slack payload builder + changelog.json builder) against the generated JSON — all produce valid output
Full end-to-end test will occur on the next release cut
I have manually tested my changes locally with ./script/run

Replace the warpdotdev/generate-changelog action in the generate_changelogs job with oz-agent-action, which invokes the changelog-draft skill to produce a release-compatible JSON artifact (changelog-release.json). Changes: - SKILL.md Step 8: add third output file (changelog-release.json) with the {newFeatures, improvements, bugFixes, images, oz_updates} schema consumed by the Slack payload builder and in-app changelog.json steps. - create_release.yml: replace GitHub App token + generate-changelog steps with oz-agent-action + a bridge step that reads changelog-release.json and exposes it as outputs.changelog for downstream compatibility. - Fix .image -> .images key in the changelog.json builder step to match the new schema.

Can we gate this step to only run for the stable channel? Currently I think it's running for all channels, which was fine when they were just running code, but I don't think we should burn tokens generating changelogs for non-stable channels.

Makes sense. Addressed this in the new commit

 The JSON artifact retains `skipped`, `needs_review`, and `issue_reporters` for audit purposes — every PR in the range must appear in either `entries`, `skipped`, or `needs_review`.

+**`changelog-release.json`** — Release-pipeline-compatible JSON consumed by the `create_release` workflow for Slack (#release channel) and the in-app "What's New" dialog:


I'd advocate for treating either changelog-draft.md or changelog-draft.json as the source of truth and generating changelog-release.json from one of those using a script (unless there's some information in changelog-release.json that isn't in the others.

I'd add a script to do the generation under the changelog-draft skill and tell the agent here to use the script to generate it. Using code is going to be cheaper and more reliable, and it should be pretty easy to get an agent to generate the script.

ACK, I added a python script in the new commit so the skill runs the script instead of having AI generate the json directly

- Gate generate_changelogs job to stable channel only (saves agent tokens on dev/preview/beta releases). - Add convert_to_release_json.py script that deterministically converts changelog-draft.json → changelog-release.json, replacing the agent- generated third output file. - Update SKILL.md: Step 8 writes 2 files (md + json), new Step 9 runs the conversion script. - Workflow now runs the script as a separate step between the Oz agent and the bridge step that loads the JSON into outputs.

Overview

This PR replaces the deterministic changelog action in create_release with the Oz changelog skill plus a conversion script for the downstream release JSON shape.

Concerns

The generate_changelogs job is now restricted to stable, which drops the existing Slack/GCS changelog flow for preview and dev publish runs even though those channels remain configured for changelogs.

Security

The release workflow sends an agent over PR titles/bodies and other fetched GitHub content without an explicit instruction to treat that content as untrusted data rather than executable instructions.

-    if: ${{ needs.prepare_release.outputs.should_publish == 'true' }}
+    if: ${{ needs.prepare_release.outputs.should_publish == 'true' && inputs.channel == 'stable' }}


⚠️ [IMPORTANT] This now skips changelog generation for preview and dev releases even though the workflow previously posted/uploaded changelogs for every publishable channel. Remove this guard or add equivalent changelog handling for the other configured channels.

⚠️ [IMPORTANT] [SECURITY] The Oz run will ingest PR titles, bodies, and markers fetched by the changelog skill, but the prompt does not tell the agent to treat that content as untrusted. Add an explicit prompt-injection guard before using this in release automation.

Splits generate_changelogs to fan out by channel: - Stable: runs the Oz changelog-draft agent (new flow from #10832) - Non-stable (dev/preview/beta): restores the legacy warpdotdev/generate-changelog action A small bridge step picks the right source and re-emits it as outputs.changelog, so the downstream Slack/GCS steps are unchanged. This fixes the dev in-app changelog regression introduced by #10832 (dev clients fall back to a stale channel_versions.json fixture when the GCS changelog.json upload is skipped — see app/src/autoupdate/changelog.rs:84) without spending Oz agent tokens on daily dev cuts and preview RCs. The Oz flow stays in the loop on stable, where the higher-quality output matters most.
