+# Changelogs and Product Updates Developers Care About - Detailed Guide
+
+> This file contains the detailed procedure and reference material extracted from `SKILL.md` for focused loading. The root skill defines activation, examples, safety constraints, and limitations.
+
+## Overview
+
+Changelogs serve multiple audiences and purposes:
+- **Active developers**: "What changed that affects my integration?"
+- **Evaluating developers**: "Is this product actively maintained?"
+- **Developer advocates**: "What's worth sharing with my audience?"
+- **Your team**: Historical record of what shipped and when
+
+This skill covers creating changelogs that inform, build trust, and occasionally delight.
+
+
+## Before You Start
+
+Review the **developer-audience-context** skill to understand:
+- How do your developers prefer to receive updates?
+- What changes do they care most about?
+- How much detail do they need?
+- What's their tolerance for breaking changes?
+
+Your changelog tone and detail level should match your audience.
+
