I am still learning to describe that work without vanity metrics.

We built a Slack bot that turns merged PRs into weekly release notes. It groups changes by label and pings owners when summaries are missing. The first version was a cron job; now it reacts to GitHub webhooks. Sharing the architecture and the parts that still need polish. Biggest win: PMs stopped chasing engineers for release copy. Feedback welcome if you have run changelog automation at scale.
