Release Notes Agent

Drafts customer-ready release notes from JIRA and saves them into Heretto as DITA Topics.

Overview

Release Notes Agent is an LLM-driven agent that pulls issues from Jira based on a Jira query and summarizes them into release notes formatted as DITA topics. The agent provides configuration options to run different styles of AI drafting. After creation, the generated DITA content can be directly saved to Heretto.
