A single-page, section-structured HTML document containing version, date, summary, Added items, Fixed bugs, Breaking changes, Known issues, and Upgrade instructions.

About

This skill produces a structured one-page HTML release notes document containing version info, Added/Fixed/Breaking changes, Known issues, and Upgrade notes. Developers use it to quickly create professional release announcements when shipping new versions. The workflow involves copying a seed template, mapping design system variables, populating six mandatory sections in order (Hero, Added, Fixed, Breaking changes, Known issues, Upgrade note), and applying honesty rules: explicit "None" or "No details provided" placeholders for missing information rather than invention. Self-check gates ensure P0 criteria are met before emission.

  • Structured HTML template with pre-wired navigation anchors to Added, Fixed, Upgrade-note sections
  • Honesty-first placeholders: writes explicit "None" and "No details provided" when user omits information
  • Design system mapping via :root CSS variables from active DESIGN.md
  • Six mandatory sections in fixed order: Hero, Added, Fixed, Breaking changes, Known issues, Upgrade note
  • P0/P1/P2 self-check gates and layout reference skeletons included in resources

What it does

Generate a single-page HTML release notes document with highlights, changes, and upgrade instructions.

Who is it for?

Backend releases, SaaS updates, version bump announcements, shipping point releases (e.g., v2.3.1).

Skip if: Marketing landing pages, blog posts, internal changelogs that do not require a one-pager, real-time streaming updates.

When should I use this skill?

Ready to ship a new version and need to communicate changes to users and developers in a standard format.

What you get

A polished, accessible one-page release notes HTML that links to real destinations and honestly represents what changed.

  • Single-page HTML file (index.html)
  • Navigation menu with anchor links
  • Six mandatory sections with real or honest placeholder content

By the numbers

  • Six mandatory sections: Hero, Added, Fixed, Breaking changes, Known issues, Upgrade note
  • Pre-wired topnav links target #added, #fixed, #upgrade-note anchors
  • Layout 7 (log-list) used for Added, Fixed, Breaking changes sections

Do not write CSS from scratch unless the user explicitly asks for a bespoke structure.

Workflow

Step 0 — Pre-flight

1. Read assets/template.html. 2. Read references/layouts.md. 3. Read active DESIGN.md and map it to the six :root variables.

Step 1 — Start from the shared seed

Copy assets/template.html to project index.html.

Update:

  • <title>
  • topnav logo text
  • topnav link labels (destinations are pre-wired to #added, #fixed, #upgrade-note)
  • topnav CTA label and href destination, or omit the topnav CTA entirely if no real destination exists
  • ensure the topnav link targets exist by adding matching section id attributes

Step 2 — Build release-note structure

Inside <main id="content">, compose this section order:

1. Hero (Layout 1 or 2): version, date, one-sentence summary. 2. Added (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include id="added"). 3. Fixed (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include id="fixed"). 4. Breaking changes (use Layout 7 log-list, or one row explicitly saying "None"; section root must include id="breaking-changes"). 5. Known issues (Layout 7 or card list; section root must include id="known-issues"). 6. Upgrade note (short steps list or explicit no-action statement; section root must include id="upgrade-note"). 7. Closing CTA strip (Layout 6).

For every CTA in the emitted HTML (topnav, hero, closing strip), replace both the visible label and the href destination with real, safe values. If no real destination is available, omit the CTA entirely—do not use a placeholder such as href="#", a misleading page-anchor, or REPLACE_WITH_REAL_URL. Hero CTAs are optional; only add them when real destinations exist.

Step 3 — Honesty rules for missing details

If the user does not provide details, do not invent them. Write explicit placeholders:

  • Summary: No summary provided.
  • Added: No additions provided
  • Fixed: No fixes provided
  • Breaking changes: None
  • Known issues: None reported
  • Upgrade note: No upgrade actions required based on provided information

If release version or date is missing, use and label the field rather than guessing.

Step 4 — Self-check

Run references/checklist.md. Every P0 must pass.

Step 5 — Emit artifact

Wrap output as:

<artifact identifier="release-notes-one-pager" type="text/html" title="Release Notes">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact. Nothing after </artifact>.

FAQ

What if I don't have details for a section?

Write explicit placeholders like "None" or "No additions provided" instead of inventing content.

Do I need to write CSS?

No. Copy the seed template and map your design system variables to :root CSS; do not write CSS from scratch unless you explicitly ask.

Which sections are mandatory?

Hero, Added, Fixed, Breaking changes, Known issues, Upgrade note (in that order), plus optional Closing CTA strip.
