SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Game development teams often have detailed internal changelogs, git commit history, and sprint documentation that is too technical for players. This Skill eliminates the manual effort of rewriting this internal data into clear, engaging patch notes that players can easily understand, saving community teams hours of repetitive work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source data aggregation: Pulls change data from internal changelogs, git logs, sprint retrospectives, balance adjustment documents, and QA bug records.
  • Jargon translation: Converts technical developer language (e.g., "refactored damage calculation pipeline") into player-friendly descriptions (e.g., "Improved hit detection accuracy").
  • Customizable formatting: Supports brief, detailed, and full output styles, plus custom tone guides and pre-defined templates to match your game's community voice.
  • Real-world use case: A studio releasing version 2.0.0 of their racing game can use this Skill to automatically generate patch notes from the sprint's changelog and git commits, formatted to match their community's tone, without manual rewriting.

Quick Start

Use the patch-notes skill to generate detailed player-facing patch notes for version 1.2.0 of your game using the default style.
