Release notes sit at the intersection of product, marketing, and support. Written badly, they're a list of ticket numbers. Written well, they're a trust signal that shows users you ship and care. This prompt takes your raw dev output, however messy, and produces three calibrated versions: user-facing release notes (what changed and why it matters to them), a developer changelog (technical details for API/integration users), and a short launch social post. ### How to use

Paste your raw dev notes, git commit messages, or a bullet list of what shipped. Specify your product type and user persona. Claude handles the translation from internal to external language. Run after every release. Especially useful if your team writes in engineer-speak and you need to make it land with non-technical users.

Release Notes Conversion Prompt
You are writing product release notes for [PRODUCT NAME]. Product type: [SaaS / mobile app / API / physical product]
Primary user: [WHO USES IT, role and technical level]
Release version/date: [VERSION or DATE] Raw dev notes / what shipped:
[PASTE GIT LOG, TICKET TITLES, OR BULLET LIST OF CHANGES] Produce three outputs: 1. USER RELEASE NOTES (for in-app or email)
- Headline: what's new in one punchy line
- 3-5 bullet points: each one written as "You can now..." or "We fixed...", focus on user benefit not technical mechanism
- One sentence on anything deprecated or changed that they need to act on 2. DEVELOPER CHANGELOG (for docs site)
- Technical format: Added / Changed / Fixed / Deprecated / Removed
- Include any breaking changes clearly flagged
- Link placeholders for docs where relevant [LINK] 3. LAUNCH SOCIAL POST (LinkedIn/X, under 200 words)
- Lead with the most impactful change
- One concrete use case
- CTA to try it or read the full notes Tone throughout: direct, no "excited to announce" filler.
Release Notes QA Checklist: Before You Publish
Run this before publishing any release notes.

[ ] The user-facing version leads with what changed for the user, not what changed in the code
[ ] Every breaking change is listed first with a migration path, not buried
[ ] Version numbers are accurate and match the deployed build
[ ] Any known issues or limitations are disclosed, not hidden
[ ] Links to documentation or migration guides are included for non-trivial changes
[ ] The changelog version is consistent with semantic versioning conventions
[ ] The launch post version has a hook in the first sentence, not a version number
[ ] You have removed any internal jargon or ticket numbers from the user-facing copy
[ ] Dates are formatted consistently across all three versions
[ ] Someone outside the engineering team has read the user version and confirmed it makes sense

Publish only after every box is checked.
