3## When to Invoke
4- User wants to create release notes for a version, sprint, or cycle
5- User says "release notes", "changelog", "what shipped", "write release notes"
6- A new version or milestone has been completed
7- End of sprint/cycle documentation

9## Agent Mode Awareness

11**Check `agent_mode` in `00-inbox/MY-PROFILE.md` frontmatter:**
12- If `agent_mode: team` — use parallel agents to collect data from all active sources simultaneously
13- If `agent_mode: solo` — collect data sequentially from the primary tracker
