Leather Release Communications

Generate consistent, on-brand release communications for Leather wallet across changelog entries, X posts, and Slack announcements.

Process

1. Gather context — Review provided feature description, Linear project, or GitHub PRs
2. Identify the "why" — Determine the user problem being solved or improvement being delivered
3. Read format references — See references/voice-and-formats.md for voice guidelines and templates
4. Generate outputs — Create requested formats (changelog, X post, Slack, or all three)

Output Summary

Format	Purpose	Length
Changelog	Permanent product record at app.leather.io/changelog	50-150 words
X single	Quick announcement for smaller features	280 chars max
X thread	Major releases needing context	3-5 tweets
Slack	Community announcement	100-200 words

Voice Principles

• Lead with impact — Start with why this matters to users, not what changed technically
• Understated confidence — Let the product speak; avoid hype words ("excited", "thrilled", "game-changing")
• One idea per sentence — Short, declarative statements
• Show don't tell — Concrete benefits over abstract claims

See references/voice-and-formats.md for detailed guidelines and examples.
