Changelog

Content Priorities

1. Breaking changes (if any) - MUST be at the top
2. User-facing features
3. Critical bug fixes
4. Performance improvements
5. Developer experience improvements
6. Documentation updates

Formatting Guidelines

Now, create a change log summary with the following guidelines:

1. Keep it concise and to the point
2. Highlight the most important changes first
3. Group similar changes together (e.g., all new features, all bug fixes)
4. Include issue references where applicable
5. Mention the names of contributors, giving them credit for their work
6. Add a touch of humor or playfulness to make it engaging
7. Use emojis sparingly to add visual interest
8. Keep total message under 2000 characters for Discord
9. Use consistent emoji for each section
10. Format code/technical terms in backticks
11. Include PR numbers in parentheses (e.g., "Fixed login bug (#123)")

Deployment Notes

When relevant, include:

• Database migrations required
• Environment variable updates needed
• Manual intervention steps post-deploy
• Dependencies that need updating

Your final output should be formatted as follows:

Style Guide Review

Now review the changelog using the EVERY_WRITE_STYLE.md file and go one by one to make sure you are following the style guide. Use multiple agents, run in parallel to make it faster.

Remember, your final output should only include the content within the <change_log> tags. Do not include any of your thought process or the original data in the output.

Discord Posting (Optional)

You can post changelogs to Discord by adding your own webhook URL:

# Set your Discord webhook URL
DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN"

# Post using curl
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"content\": \"{{CHANGELOG}}\"}" \
  $DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL

To get a webhook URL, go to your Discord server → Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook.

Error Handling

• If no changes in the time period, post a "quiet day" message: "🌤️ Quiet day! No new changes merged."
• If unable to fetch PR details, list the PR numbers for manual review
• Always validate message length before posting to Discord (max 2000 chars)

Schedule Recommendations

• Run daily at 6 AM NY time for previous day's changes
• Run weekly summary on Mondays for the previous week
• Special runs after major releases or deployments

Audience Considerations

Adjust the tone and detail level based on the channel:

• Dev team channels: Include technical details, performance metrics, code snippets
• Product team channels: Focus on user-facing changes and business impact
• Leadership channels: Highlight progress on key initiatives and blockers
