    About This Skill

    The Problem

    Technical changelogs and PR lists are built for developers, not customers. Forwarding a raw list of "Fixed race condition in auth middleware" or "Refactor: bump peer dependencies" to your users results in confusion and missed value. Most AI prompts just summarize these lists without understanding the "why" behind the change.

    What it does

    The Release Notes Writer acts as a product marketing layer for your development workflow. It ingests technical inputs—like CHANGELOG.md files, merged PR descriptions, or commit histories—and translates them into human-readable, value-driven release notes. It ruthlessly filters out internal noise (CI tweaks, refactors, dependency bumps) to focus on exactly what your users care about.

    Key Features

    • Value-First Translation: Converts technical jargon into benefits (e.g., "Added SAML support" becomes "Sign in with your company SSO").
    • Smart Categorization: Groups updates by user impact rather than commit type.
    • Formatting Excellence: Produces structured Markdown optimized for GitHub Releases, product blogs, or in-app modals.
    • Breaking Change Alerts: Highlights critical migrations clearly so users aren't caught off guard.

    Why use this skill?

    Unlike a generic AI summary, this skill follows specific product marketing frameworks. It knows to lead with a "theme" headline, include documentation links, and ignore back-end refactors that don't change the UI. It saves product managers and lead devs hours of manual editing while ensuring users feel the progress of your product.

    Use Cases

    • Translate technical PR descriptions into benefits-oriented customer copy.
    • Filter out internal refactors and CI updates from public announcements.
    • Generate "What's New" content for product blogs and in-app notifications.
    • Summarize app updates into a friendly, professional tone for end users.
