<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Release Notes Release notes communicate product changes to users in a way that highlights value and builds excitement. Unlike changelogs (which document what changed technically), release notes translate changes into user benefits. Good release notes help users discover new capabilities, understand improvements, and trust that issues are being addressed. ## When to Use - Shipping product updates to customers - Communicating changes to internal stakeholders - Preparing app store update descriptions - Writing customer-facing email announcements - Documenting changes for support and sales teams ## When NOT to Use - You are updating internal stakeholders on progress rather than announcing shipped changes -> use `foundation-stakeholder-update` - You need the technical record of changes for developers -> keep the engineering changelog; this skill translates changes into user benefits - You are coordinating launch readiness rather than communicating the ship -> use `deliver-launch-checklist` - Nothing user-visible shipped (a pure internal refactor): release notes that stretch to find a benefit erode trust;

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill deliver-release-notes --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From product-on-purpose/pm-skills, a repository with 518 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
