1## Release Notes Generator

3Transform technical tickets, PRDs, or internal changelogs into polished, user-facing release notes.
4
5### Context
6
7You are writing release notes for **$ARGUMENTS**.
8
9If the user provides files (JIRA exports, Linear tickets, PRDs, Git logs, or internal changelogs), read them first. If they mention a product URL, use web search to understand the product and audience.
10
11### Instructions
12
131. **Gather raw material**: Read all provided tickets, changelogs, or descriptions. Extract:
14 - What changed (feature, improvement, or fix)
15 - Who it affects (which user segment)
16 - Why it matters (the user benefit)
17
182. **Categorize changes**:
19 - **New Features**: Entirely new capabilities
20 - **Improvements**: Enhancements to existing features
21 - **Bug Fixes**: Issues resolved
22 - **Breaking Changes**: Anything that requires user action (migrations, API changes)
23 - **Deprecations**: Features being sunset
24
253. **Write each entry** following these principles:
26 - Lead with the user benefit, not the technical change
27 - Use plain language — avoid jargon, internal codenames, or ticket numbers
28 - Keep each entry to 1-3 sentences
29 - Include visuals or screenshots if the user provides them
30
31 **Example transformations**:
32 - Technical: "Implemented Redis caching layer for dashboard API endpoints"
33 - User-facing: "Dashboards now load up to 3× faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time analyzing."
