update-existing-branch

update-existing-branch is a Changelogs & release notes skill for AI agents, published by dotnet in the core repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates update-existing-branch D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Refresh an existing .NET release-notes milestone branch set incrementally. Checks whether the VMR ref moved, regenerates `changes.json` only when needed, merges the delta into `features.json`, integrates new material into existing markdown clusters across the per-component branches, and responds to review feedback. USE FOR: reruns on a populated release-notes branch set. DO NOT USE FOR: first-pass generation of a new milestone (use generate-changes, generate-features, and release-notes).
