## Phase 1: Parse Arguments
|
|
|
|
- `version`: the release version to generate notes for (e.g., `1.2.0`)
|
|
- `--style`: output style — `brief` (bullet points), `detailed` (with context), `full` (with developer commentary). Default: `detailed`.
|
|
|
|
If no version is provided, ask the user before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2: Gather Change Data
|
|
|
|
- Read the internal changelog at `production/releases/[version]/changelog.md` if it exists
|
|
- Run `git log` between the previous release tag and current tag/HEAD
|
|
- Read sprint retrospectives in `production/sprints/` for context
|
|
- Read any balance change documents in `design/balance/`
|
|
- Read bug fix records from QA if available
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 3: Categorize and Translate
|
|
|
|
Categorize all changes into player-facing categories:
|
|
|
|
- **New Content**: new features, maps, characters, items, modes
|
|
- **Gameplay Changes**: balance adjustments, mechanic changes, progression changes
|
|
- **Quality of Life**: UI improvements, convenience features, accessibility
|
|
- **Bug Fixes**: grouped by system (combat, UI, networking, etc.)
|
|
- **Performance**: optimization improvements players might notice
|
|
- **Known Issues**: transparency about unresolved problems
|
|
|
|
Translate developer language to player language:
|
|
|
|
- "Refactored damage calculation pipeline" → "Improved hit detection accuracy"
|
|
- "Fixed null reference in inventory manager" → "Fixed a crash when opening inventory"
|
|
- "Reduced GC allocations in combat loop" → "Improved combat performance"
|
|
- Remove purely internal changes that don't affect players
|
|
- Preserve specific numbers for balance changes (damage: 50 → 45)
|
|

|
## Phase 5: Review Output
|
|
|
|
Check the generated notes for:
|
|
|
|
- No internal jargon (replace technical terms with player-friendly language)
|
|
- No references to internal systems, tickets, or sprint numbers
|
|
- Balance changes include before/after values
|
|
- Bug fixes describe the player experience, not the technical cause
|
|
- Tone matches the game's voice (adjust formality based on game style)
|
|

|
## Phase 6: Save Patch Notes
|
|
|
|
Present the completed patch notes to the user along with: a count of changes by category, and any internal changes that were excluded (for review).
|
|
|
|
Ask: "May I write this to `production/releases/[version]/patch-notes.md`?"
|
|
|
|
If yes, write the file, creating the directory if needed.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Phase 7: Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Verdict: **COMPLETE** — patch notes generated and saved.
|
|
|
|
- Run `/release-checklist` to verify all other release gates are met before publishing.
|
|
- Share the patch notes draft with the community-manager for tone review before posting publicly.
