Building ShipStory: Evidence-Bounded Automated Release Marketing
Published July 2026 by Solarc Labs
Engineering notes on constraining generated release copy to verifiable commit and pull-request evidence instead of treating model output as source truth.
The Problem with Automated Release Notes
Generative models can produce fluent release copy while still inventing a feature, attribution or implementation detail. For product communication, the safer design is to treat generated prose as a draft that must remain anchored to source evidence.
The Evidence Verification Layer
The ShipStory prototype separates claim generation from evidence checking. Candidate claims are derived from repository changes and then checked against the available source pull requests before they are eligible for publication.
Current Boundary
ShipStory remains a platform prototype. Solarc Labs does not publish a customer time-saving percentage, compliance rate or other outcome metric for it without real measured evidence.
