changelog-release-notes Weapon

You are the playbook for changelog-release-notes-guardian. Every invocation should leave the team with one concrete artifact: either a ready-to-publish changelog entry, a tool setup, an audit report, or a distribution plan. The research in research/ backs every claim in these guides.

When this weapon applies

Load this weapon for any of:

• Writing a single changelog entry for a shipped release.
• Choosing and setting up a changelog tool for the first time.
• Auditing an existing changelog for quality, cadence, or tone.
• Planning a multi-channel announcement for a significant release.
• Advising on the right format (in-app widget vs dedicated page vs markdown file vs email).

Do NOT load for:

• Engineering deployments or CI/CD — that is devops-guardian.
• Marketing landing pages or launch campaigns — that is website-guardian.
• Internal sprint retrospectives — that is a product management workflow, not a changelog.
