# 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
🚀 **EVO 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)
• Everything is FREE - No paywalls
• Knowledge shared, not sold

📊 **STATS**
X commits | Y PRs merged | Z files changed

🙏 **CONTRIBUTORS**
@username1 (X PRs!), @username2 (Y PRs!)
@username3, @username4, username5 + dependabot 🛡️
Community-driven FTW! 🌟

📦 **INSTALL:**
`npx evo-method@VERSION install`

☕ Donate: buymeacoffee.com/evo

🔥 **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 `_evo-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:
- `_evo-output/social/{filename}`

Offer to make adjustments if the user wants different emphasis, tone, or content.
