Turn a list of changes, commits, or PRs into clean release notes / a changelog entry. Use when asked to write release notes, a changelog, or a version announcement from raw changes. Produces a Keep-a-Changelog-style entry grouped by type (Added/Changed/Fixed/etc.), written for users — surfacing breaking changes and upgrade notes up top. To go straight from a raw git log use changelog-generator instead.

Write a conference talk proposal / CFP submission for a tech or developer conference. Use when asked to submit to a CFP, propose a talk, or write a session abstract. Produces a compelling title, abstract, audience takeaways, an outline, and the speaker pitch — tuned to what selection committees actually look for.

Write a CONTRIBUTING guide that helps people contribute to an open-source project without friction. Use when asked to write a CONTRIBUTING.md, set up contribution guidelines, or make a repo welcoming to contributors. Produces a clear guide: how to set up, the contribution workflow, standards, PR expectations, and how to get help — lowering the barrier to a first PR.

Plan the communications for deprecating a product, API, endpoint, or feature that customers depend on. Use when winding down or sunsetting something, planning a breaking change, or migrating customers off a legacy path. Produces a staged timeline with grace periods, tiered customer messaging, a migration-guide outline, the channel plan, and an internal escalation playbook for the highest-risk accounts. This is the customer-communications program — distinct from [[feature-sunset-plan]] (the kill decision, data handling, and code removal) and [[api-versioning-strategy]] (the technical versioning mechanics).

Write a 'get started in 5 minutes' quickstart for a tool, library, or API. Use when asked to write a quickstart, getting-started guide, or onboarding docs for developers. Produces a copy-paste-friendly quickstart that takes a developer from zero to a first working result fast, with install, a minimal working example, and clear next steps.

Write a developer-audience launch post — Show HN, a Product Hunt blurb, a 'we shipped X' dev blog intro, or a launch tweet thread. Use when launching a tool, library, API, or open-source project to a technical audience. Produces a credible, hype-free post that leads with what it does and why it's different, plus title options and a comment-ready first reply.

Write a clear, well-structured README for a software project or open-source repo. Use when asked to write or improve a README, document a project, or make a repo approachable. Produces a complete README — one-line pitch, badges, quickstart, usage, install, contributing, license — that gets someone from landing to running fast.
