How I Put My Agent in CI to Automate Release Notes

Short summary

An engineer shares their experience building an AI-agent-powered release notes pipeline using goose in GitHub Actions, evolving from a simple single-repo setup at Block to a complex multi-repo system at Entire. The pipeline aggregates changes across projects with different deployment cadences, checks feature flags via PostHog, attributes community contributors, and drafts notes in a consistent voice. Key challenges include determining what is actually public versus gated behind flags.
