  • Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Ollama
  • GitHub Action for zero-install CI
  • Extensible via gRPC plugin system

Automatic versioning

Relicta reads your history and calculates the correct semantic version, including prereleases and build metadata.

AI-grade release notes

Generate polished notes with your preferred AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Ollama) and keep them consistent.

Ship to GitHub releases, npm, Slack, LaunchNotes, and more via gRPC plugins. Extend with your own targets.

Approval workflow

Plan, review, and approve before publishing. Dry runs let you see every change without touching your repo.
