# Yanib, Release Stories AI-drafted release notes that ship themselves to GitHub, Slack, email, and your changelog page — in one click. ## Now tracking when configuration proposals are viewed _auto-2026-08-14-13 · 2026-08-16_ Yanib can now note when a configuration proposal has been viewed, giving a clearer picture of how proposals are being reviewed. ### What changed Configuration proposals are suggestions for how a project's setup could change. Until now, there was no record of whether these proposals had actually been looked at once they were created. ### Why it matters With this tracking in place, it's possible to see which configuration proposals are getting viewed, helping build a clearer picture of engagement with these proposals over time. ### Maintenance - Document api-routes surface config proposal endpoint (#294), Added documentation for the `/api/repos/[repoId]/surface-config/proposal/viewed` endpoint, which allows tracking when surface configuration proposals are viewed. ## Release social cards now feature the official Yanib logo _auto-2026-08-12-4 · 2026-08-12_ Your release announcements get a more polished look with the Yanib logo added to social cards, while your own branding stays front and center. ### What changed When Yanib generates a social card for your release announcement, it previously used generic fallback letters or footer marks in places where no custom branding was set. Now, those spots feature the official Yanib launch-arrow logo instead. If your organization has already uploaded a company logo or uses customer initials, that branding is preserved exactly as before. This change only affects the generic placeholder elements, giving cards a more finished and consistent appearance without changing how your own brand appears. ### Why it matters This gives your release social cards a more polished, professional look right out of the box, while making sure your company's own branding remains the star of the show. ### New Features - Use Yanib logo on release social cards (#263), Replaced generic fallback letters and footer marks with the official Yanib launch-arrow logo on generated release social cards, while preserving uploaded company logos and customer initials for organizations without custom branding. ## More accurate tracking of AI costs and tasks _auto-2026-08-11-7 · 2026-08-12_ We fixed how our system tracks and labels AI work behind the scenes, giving us a clearer picture of what these features actually cost. ### What changed Behind the scenes, our AI features rely on several different tasks — like generating content for different audiences, running quality checks, and creating shipping summaries. We found that these tasks were sometimes being mislabeled in our internal cost tracking, which made it hard to know exactly what was driving expenses. We corrected this labeling so each type of AI task is now properly categorized. We also added more detailed pricing tracking for each AI model we use, along with improved logging of AI conversations. Together, these changes give us a much clearer and more reliable view of how our AI systems are being used and what they cost. ### Why it matters With accurate cost tracking in place, we can better monitor and optimize how we use AI behind the scenes. This helps us keep the service running efficiently and make smarter decisions about AI usage going forward. ### Bug Fixes - Fix AI cost tracking and task labeling in observability pipeline (#239), Corrected mislabeled AI tasks in the cost audit where multi-audience generation, QA review, and shipping summaries were incorrectly categorized. Implemented accurate per-model pricing tracking and enhanced chat logging for the AI pipeline to ensure reliable cost reporting and observability. ## MCP server hardened with new discovery tool and clearer error messages _auto-2026-08-11-10 · 2026-08-12_ The MCP server now includes a yanib_inspect discovery tool and improved error translation, making it easier for agents to find and use available tools. ### What changed The MCP server has been hardened with a new discovery tool, yanib_inspect, for the authenticated MCP server. This release also adds output guards and error translation patterns, informed by Airbyte's airbyte-agent-sdk research, to improve how the system communicates problems to agents. ### Why it matters These changes improve agent ergonomics by making it easier to discover available tools and understand error messages when problems occur. ### New Features - Harden MCP server with discovery tool and error translation (#242), Implemented yanib_inspect discovery tool for the authenticated MCP server and added output guards with error translation patterns, improving agent ergonomics based on Airbyte's airbyte-agent-sdk research (AI pipeline phase 8).
