Using "product-changelog". Write a changelog entry for bulk export feature
Expected outcome:
- ### New: Bulk Export for Reports 📊 You can now export up to 10,000 rows at once from any report view. Select your rows, click Export, and choose CSV or Excel format. Previously limited to 500 rows per export.
Using "product-changelog". Create breaking change notice for API v1 deprecation
Expected outcome:
- ### ⚠️ Breaking: API v1 Endpoints Deprecated **What changed:** API v1 endpoints will stop working on March 15, 2026. **What you need to do:** 1. Update your API calls to use v2 endpoints 2. Update authentication to use Bearer tokens instead of API keys 3. Test your integration before March 15
Security Audit
SafeAll 33 static findings are false positives. The skill is a pure documentation/writing tool for creating product changelogs. The detected patterns (external commands, network URLs, cryptographic algorithms) are actually documentation content, example CLI commands, version numbers, and URLs referenced in usage guides - not executable code or security risks.

What You Can Build
SaaS Product Manager
Create weekly release notes for a B2B SaaS product to keep users informed about new features and improvements.
Developer Advocate
Write clear, engaging changelog entries that translate technical changes into user value.
Open Source Maintainer
Document releases for open source projects with proper versioning and breaking change notices.
Try These Prompts
Write a changelog entry for a new feature called '[Feature Name]' that allows users to [what users can do]. Include the benefit and a link to documentation.
Write a complete changelog for version [X.Y.Z] released on [Date]. Include: [list of changes with categories]. Use proper categorization and user-facing language.
Write a breaking change announcement for [feature/API] being deprecated. Include: what changed, what users need to do, timeline, and migration guide link.
Write a social media (Twitter/X) announcement for a new feature. Include: emoji, feature name, 1-2 sentence description, and call to action.
Best Practices
- Start each entry with what the user can do, not what was built
- Group changes by category (New, Improved, Fixed, Removed, Security)
- Include visual elements for major UI features
Avoid
- Using internal developer language that users cannot understand
- Writing vague entries like 'various bug fixes and improvements'
- Listing breaking changes without clear migration instructions
