Discord Release Notes

Generate a condensed Discord-friendly version of the release notes. The user will provide the version (e.g. v0.1.0).

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1: Find the full release notes

Look for the full release notes at /Users/tarik/Desktop/irdashies-demos/release-<version>.md. If they don't exist, tell the user to run /release-notes first.

Step 2: Look up Discord handles

Check the memory file at /Users/tarik/.claude/projects/-Users-tarik-projects-irdashies/memory/reference_discord_handles.md to map GitHub usernames to Discord display names. If any contributors are missing from the mapping, ask the user for their Discord handles before proceeding.

Step 3: Write the condensed post

Write to /Users/tarik/Desktop/irdashies-demos/release-<version>-discord.md.

Hard limit: 2000 characters

Check the character count with wc -m after writing. If over 2000, trim until it fits.

A big welcome to our first-time contributors <first-timers> — thanks for jumping in! 🎉

Thanks to <contributors ordered by most PRs> for their contributions!

Rules

• User-facing language — no code, no function names, no technical jargon
• Condense aggressively — combine related items, use short phrases with em-dashes
• Order contributors by number of PRs in the release, most first. Use Discord display names, not GitHub handles. Don't include yourself (tarik) in the thanks
• Always welcome first-time contributors — pull the "New Contributors" list from the full release notes and call them out by Discord display name in a dedicated welcome line above the general thanks. Keep it warm and brief (one line). Don't repeat names: first-timers go in the welcome line only, and returning contributors go in the general thanks line only. If there are no first-timers, omit the welcome line and thank everyone in the general line. If everyone is a first-timer, the welcome line covers them and you can drop the general thanks line
• Start with the most impactful features — new widgets and major overhauls first, smaller enhancements after
• Use all available space — if you're well under 2000 characters, add back detail that was cut. Don't leave room on the table unnecessarily
• Tracks and logos get their own one-liner sections at the bottom
• Always end with the full release notes link
• Skip dev-only fixes (hot reload, branch refresh) — Discord audience is end users

Step 4: Verify and open

Check character count is under 2000, then open in VS Code with code <path>.
