pm-execution/skills/release-notes/SKILL.md
Generate user-facing release notes from tickets, PRDs, or changelogs. Creates clear, engaging summaries organized by category (new features, improvements, fixes). Use when writing release notes, creating changelogs, announcing product updates, or summarizing what shipped.

3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Transform technical tickets, PRDs, or internal changelogs into polished, user-facing release notes.
You are writing release notes for $ARGUMENTS.
If 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.
Gather raw material: Read all provided tickets, changelogs, or descriptions. Extract:
Categorize changes:
Write each entry following these principles:
Example transformations:
Technical: "Implemented Redis caching layer for dashboard API endpoints"
User-facing: "Dashboards now load up to 3× faster, so you spend less time waiting and more time analyzing."
Technical: "Fixed race condition in concurrent checkout flow"
User-facing: "Fixed an issue where some orders could fail during high-traffic periods."
Structure the release notes:
# [Product Name] — [Version / Date]
## New Features
- **[Feature name]**: [1-2 sentence description of what it does and why it matters]
## Improvements
- **[Area]**: [What got better and how it helps]
## Bug Fixes
- Fixed [issue description in user terms]
## Breaking Changes (if any)
- **Action required**: [What users need to do]
Adjust tone to match the product's voice — professional for B2B, friendly for consumer, developer-focused for APIs.
Save as a markdown document. If the user wants HTML or another format, convert accordingly.
testing
Red-team a PRD, roadmap, or strategy by attacking its load-bearing assumptions before reality does. Steelmans then attacks each claim, ranks failure modes by impact × likelihood × cheapness-to-test, and returns the cheapest test and kill criteria for each. Use when stress-testing a plan, pressure-testing a strategy, challenging assumptions, or preparing a doc for executive review.
tools
The durable documentation set that makes an AI-built (vibe-coded) app reviewable before shipping. A small core every app needs — architecture, user/permission flows, permissions, variables/secrets, and a test-coverage map — plus conditional docs added only when they apply: emails, scheduled work, SEO, and embedded agents/automation. Defines what each doc must capture and how a reviewer or auditor uses it. Use when documenting a codebase for handoff, mapping user journeys and trust-boundary crossings, planning test coverage, or preparing for a security or performance audit.
development
The method for finding the gap between what a system is supposed to do and what the code actually does — the class of bug generic scanners miss because they have no model of intent. Defines what counts as documented intent, what counts as implementation evidence, which mismatches matter, and how to avoid hand-wavy findings. Use when auditing AI-built code, reviewing access control against documented permissions, or checking whether a codebase matches its own documentation.
testing
Comprehensive PM resume review and tailoring against 10 best practices including XYZ+S formula, keyword optimization, job-specific tailoring, and structure. Use when reviewing a PM resume, preparing for job applications, or improving resume impact.
