SOCIAL MEDIA

Turn a GitLab release tag into a reviewed founder thread

When a new GitLab release tag is published, drafts a personal-brand social thread about the shipped feature, posts it to a Slack approval channel.

What it does

Watches a GitLab project for new release tags. Each time you ship, it reads the release notes and merged commits, ghostwrites a short founder-voice thread, and parks it in Slack behind an approval button. Nothing goes live until you click approve — then it posts to your connected platforms.

When to use it

For solo founders and small teams who want to build in public but never find time to write the post. You ship the release; the pipeline writes the narrative and waits for your sign-off so nothing embarrassing escapes.

How it works

  1. 1A GitLab release-tag event fires the workflow with the tag, notes, and linked merge requests.
  2. 2An OpenAI step rewrites the raw notes into a 3-tweet founder thread — hook, what changed, why it matters — in your saved voice.
  3. 3The draft is posted to a Slack review channel with Approve and Reject actions.
  4. 4A logic gate pauses the run until someone responds.
  5. 5On approve, the thread is published via post-to-platforms; on reject, the run ends and logs the reason.
