Workflow
Step 0 — Pre-flight
- Read
assets/template.html. - Read
references/layouts.md. - Read active
DESIGN.mdand map it to the six:rootvariables.
Step 1 — Start from the shared seed
Copy assets/template.html to project index.html.
Update:
<title>- topnav logo text
- topnav link labels (destinations are pre-wired to
#added,#fixed,#upgrade-note) - topnav CTA label and
hrefdestination, or omit the topnav CTA entirely if no real destination exists - ensure the topnav link targets exist by adding matching section
idattributes
Step 2 — Build release-note structure
Inside <main id="content">, compose this section order:
- Hero (Layout 1 or 2): version, date, one-sentence summary.
- Added (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include
id="added"). - Fixed (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include
id="fixed"). - Breaking changes (use Layout 7 log-list, or one row explicitly saying "None"; section root must include
id="breaking-changes"). - Known issues (Layout 7 or card list; section root must include
id="known-issues"). - Upgrade note (short steps list or explicit no-action statement; section root must include
id="upgrade-note"). - Closing CTA strip (Layout 6).
For every CTA in the emitted HTML (topnav, hero, closing strip), replace both the visible label and the href destination with real, safe values. If no real destination is available, omit the CTA entirely—do not use a placeholder such as href="#", a misleading page-anchor, or REPLACE_WITH_REAL_URL. Hero CTAs are optional; only add them when real destinations exist.
Step 3 — Honesty rules for missing details
If the user does not provide details, do not invent them. Write explicit placeholders:
- Summary:
No summary provided. - Added:
No additions provided - Fixed:
No fixes provided - Breaking changes:
None - Known issues:
None reported - Upgrade note:
No upgrade actions required based on provided information
If release version or date is missing, use — and label the field rather than guessing.
Step 4 — Self-check
Run references/checklist.md. Every P0 must pass.
Step 5 — Emit artifact
Wrap output as:
<artifact identifier="release-notes-one-pager" type="text/html" title="Release Notes">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>
One sentence before the artifact. Nothing after </artifact>.
FAQ
What happens if I don't provide details for a section?
The tool will add text indicating no information is available for that section, such as 'No additions provided' or 'No breaking changes'.
Can I customize the appearance?
The tool uses a predefined HTML template and does not create CSS from scratch unless a custom structure is explicitly requested.
What are 'Breaking changes'?
These are changes that might break existing functionality, requiring the user or developer to make adjustments.
