SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns Ark release data into a polished Slack announcement, saving time on manual changelog writing and helping teams communicate updates clearly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release synthesis: Pulls together user-visible changes from Ark core and the Marketplace into one cohesive post.
  • Theme-based organization: Groups updates into consistent sections so readers can quickly scan what changed.
  • Docs-aware linking: Validates documentation pages and attaches the most relevant links to each feature.
  • Upgrade awareness: Surfaces breaking changes, deprecations, and migration guidance so users know what to do next.
  • Forward-looking context: Adds a “Coming next” section based on the active sprint to show what is in progress.
  • Use case: A product or developer-relations team can ask for a release announcement and get a ready-to-post Slack message instead of assembling notes from multiple repositories.
