+description: Generate social media announcements for Discord, Twitter, and LinkedIn from the latest changelog entry. Use when user asks to create release announcements, social posts, or share changelog updates. Reads CHANGELOG.md in current working directory. Reference examples/ for tone and format.
+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+# Changelog Social
+
+Generate engaging social media announcements from changelog entries.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Extract Changelog Entry
+
+Read `./CHANGELOG.md` and extract the latest version entry. The changelog follows this format:
+
+```markdown
+## [VERSION]
+
+### 🎁 Features
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 🐛 Bug Fixes
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 📚 Documentation
+* **Title** — Description
+
+### 🔧 Maintenance
+* **Title** — Description
+```
+
+Parse:
+- **Version number** (e.g., `6.0.0-Beta.5`)
+- **Features** - New functionality, enhancements
+- **Bug Fixes** - Fixes users will care about
+- **Documentation** - New or improved docs
+- **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling improvements
+
+### Step 2: Get Git Contributors
+
+Use git log to find contributors since the previous version. Get commits between the current version tag and the previous one:
+
+```bash
+# Find the previous version tag first
+git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -5
+
+# Get commits between versions with PR numbers and authors
+git log <previous-tag>..<current-tag> --pretty=format:"%h|%s|%an" --grep="#"
+```
+
+Extract PR numbers from commit messages that contain `#` followed by digits. Compile unique contributors.
+
+### Step 3: Generate Discord Announcement
+
+**Limit: 2,000 characters per message.** Split into multiple messages if needed.
+
+Use this template style:
+
+```markdown
+🚀 **BMad vVERSION RELEASED!**
+
+🎉 [Brief hype sentence]
+
+🪥 **KEY HIGHLIGHT** - [One-line summary]
+
+🎯 **CATEGORY NAME**
+• Feature one - brief description
+• Feature two - brief description
+• Coming soon: Future teaser
+
+🔧 **ANOTHER CATEGORY**
+• Fix or feature
+• Another item
+
+📚 **DOCS OR OTHER**
+• Item
+• Item with link
+
+🌟 **COMMUNITY PHILOSOPHY** (optional - include for major releases)

+
+🔥 **Next version tease!**
+```
+
+**Content Strategy:**
+- Focus on **user impact** - what's better for them?
+- Highlight **annoying bugs fixed** that frustrated users
+- Show **new capabilities** that enable workflows
+- Keep it **punchy** - use emojis and short bullets
+- Add **personality** - excitement, humor, gratitude
+
+### Step 4: Generate Twitter Post
+
+**Limit: 25,000 characters per tweet (Premium).** With Premium, use a single comprehensive post matching the Discord style (minus Discord-specific formatting). Aim for 1,500-3,000 characters for better engagement.
+
+**Threads are optional** — only use for truly massive releases where you want multiple engagement points.
+
+See `examples/twitter-example.md` for the single-post Premium format.
+
+## Content Selection Guidelines
+
+**Include:**
+- New features that change workflows
+- Bug fixes for annoying/blocking issues
+- Documentation that helps users
+- Performance improvements
+- New agents or workflows
+- Breaking changes (call out clearly)
+
+**Skip/Minimize:**
+- Internal refactoring
+- Dependency updates (unless user-facing)
+- Test improvements
+- Minor style fixes
+
+**Emphasize:**
+- "Finally fixed" issues
+- "Faster" operations
+- "Easier" workflows
+- "Now supports" capabilities
+
+## Examples
+
+Reference example posts in `examples/` for tone and formatting guidance:
+
+- **discord-example.md** — Full Discord announcement with emojis, sections, contributor shout-outs
+- **twitter-example.md** — Twitter thread format (5 tweets max for major releases)
+- **linkedin-example.md** — Professional post for major/minor releases with significant features
+
+**When to use LinkedIn:**
+- Major version releases (e.g., v6.0.0 Beta, v7.0.0)
+- Minor releases with exceptional new features
+- Community milestone announcements
+
+Read the appropriate example file before generating to match the established style and voice.
+
+## Output Format
+
+**CRITICAL: ALWAYS write to files** - Create files in `_bmad-output/social/` directory:
+
+1. `{repo-name}-discord-{version}.md` - Discord announcement
+2. `{repo-name}-twitter-{version}.md` - Twitter post
+3. `{repo-name}-linkedin-{version}.md` - LinkedIn post (if applicable)
+
+Also present a preview in the chat:
+
+```markdown
+## Discord Announcement
+
+[paste Discord content here]
+
+## Twitter Post
+
+[paste Twitter content here]
+```
+
+Files created:
+- `_bmad-output/social/{filename}`
+
+Offer to make adjustments if the user wants different emphasis, tone, or content.

+🚀 **Announcing BMad Method v6.0.0 Beta - AI-Native Agile Development Framework**
+
+I'm excited to share that BMad Method, the open-source AI-driven agile development framework, is entering Beta! After 27 alpha releases and countless community contributions, we're approaching a major milestone.
+
+**What's New in v6.0.0-alpha.23**
+
+🪟 **Windows Compatibility Fixed**
+We've resolved the installer issues that affected Windows users. The menu arrows problem, CRLF handling, and ESM compatibility are all resolved.
+
+🎯 **Enhanced PRD Workflows**
+Our Product Requirements Document workflows now include validation and editing capabilities, with a new cohesion check that ensures your documents flow beautifully. Subprocess optimization is coming soon to save even more context.
+
+🔧 **Workflow Creator & Validator**
+New tools for creating and validating workflows with subprocess support, path violation checks, and optimization suggestions that go beyond simple error checking.
+
+📚 **New Documentation Platform**
+We've launched docs.bmad-method.org using the Diataxis framework - providing clear separation between tutorials, how-to guides, explanations, and references. Our documentation is being continuously revised and expanded.
+
+💡 **Brainstorming Revolution**
+Our brainstorming workflows now use research-backed techniques: 100+ idea goals, anti-bias protocols, chain-of-thought reasoning, and simulated temperature prompts for higher divergence.
+
+**Our Philosophy**
+
+Everything in BMad Method is FREE. No paywalls, no gated content, no premium tiers. We believe knowledge should be shared, not sold. This is community-driven development at its finest.
