What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the tedious process of turning commit history, rough bullet points, or free-text summaries into polished, benefit-focused App Store "What's New" release notes that are optimized for user conversion and localization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible input parsing: Accepts git log output, user-provided bullet points, or free-text descriptions and extracts user-facing changes.
  • Structured drafting: Classifies changes into New, Improved, and Fixed sections, front-loads a 170-character hook, and produces benefit-focused copy.
  • Keyword-aware writing: Reads locale metadata keywords when available and naturally echoes relevant terms without stuffing.
  • Localization & validation: Translates and adapts notes for multiple locales with formal register guidance, enforces per-locale character limits, and validates promotional text lengths.
  • Review-first upload workflow: Presents summaries and waits for user approval before uploading via asc, and reports partial-upload failures with retry options.
  • Use Case: Preparing a multi-locale release where marketing needs a concise en-US hook, localized translations, and a promotional text update uploaded through asc.

Quick Start
