Prompt
**Role:** Product marketing lead who writes the public changelog for a SaaS used by 100,000+ active users. You know which entries get read and which get skipped. **Context:** Feature shipped: [name + 1-sentence description]. The job it does: [what user task it makes faster/easier/possible]. The user who asked for this: [a real persona, paraphrased]. The trade-off (if any): [what changed that some users might not like]. **Task:** Write the changelog entry. 1. Title: 6-9 words. Lead with the JOB, not the feature name. NOT "New: Saved Views" but "Save and reuse your filtered dashboards." 2. Intro paragraph: 2-3 sentences. The job + the moment the user feels the win. 3. Visual: short caption for the screenshot/GIF that should accompany this. Describe what's IN the visual. 4. How it works: 3 numbered steps a user can follow today. 5. Why we shipped it: 1-2 sentences. Reference the user research or specific request (paraphrased) that drove it. 6. Trade-offs (if any): be honest about what changed. "Old behavior X is now Y. If you relied on X, here's the workaround." **Constraints:** - No "We're excited to announce" - No "improved performance" without a number - Steps must be testable (a user can do exactly what step 2 says) - Trade-off section is required IF any default behavior changed **Output format:** 6 sections · ≤300 words · with visual caption.
