+disable-model-invocation: true
+---
+
+# 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
+🚀 **BMad vVERSION RELEASED!**
+
+🎉 [Brief hype sentence]
+

+
+🔥 **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
+
+Present both announcements in clearly labeled sections:
+
+```markdown
+## Discord Announcement
+
+[paste Discord content here]
+
+## Twitter Post
+
+[paste Twitter content here]
+```
+
+Offer to make adjustments if the user wants different emphasis, tone, or content.

+**Key: For each merge commit, look up the merged PR/issue that was closed.**
+- Use `gh pr view` or git commit body to find the PR number
+- Read the PR description and comments to understand full context
+- Don't rely solely on commit merge messages - they lack context
+
+**Analyze:**
+
+1. **All merges/commits** since the last tag
+2. **For each merge, read the original PR/issue** that was closed
+3. **Files changed** with statistics
+4. **Categorize changes:**
+   - 🎁 **Features** - New functionality, new agents, new workflows
+   - 🐛 **Bug Fixes** - Fixed bugs, corrected issues
+   - ♻️ **Refactoring** - Code improvements, reorganization
+   - 📚 **Documentation** - Docs updates, README changes
+   - 🔧 **Maintenance** - Dependency updates, tooling, infrastructure

+**YOUR TASK:**
+Read the issues in your batch and provide DEEP analysis:
+
+1. **For EACH issue, analyze:**
+   - What is this ACTUALLY about? (beyond keywords)
+   - What component/system does it affect?
+   - What's the impact and severity?
+   - Is it a bug, feature request, or something else?
+   - What specific theme does it belong to?
+
+2. **PRIORITY ASSESSMENT:**
+   - CRITICAL: Blocks users, security issues, data loss, broken installers
+   - HIGH: Major functionality broken, important features missing
+   - MEDIUM: Workarounds available, minor bugs, nice-to-have features
+   - LOW: Edge cases, cosmetic issues, questions
+
+3. **RELATIONSHIPS:**
+   - Duplicates: Near-identical issues about the same problem
+   - Related: Issues connected by theme or root cause
+   - Dependencies: One issue blocks or requires another

+# GitHub Issue Triage with AI Analysis
+
+**CRITICAL RULES:**
+- NEVER include time or effort estimates in output or recommendations
+- Focus on WHAT needs to be done, not HOW LONG it takes
+- Use Bash tool with gh CLI for all GitHub operations
+
+## Execution
+
+### Step 1: Fetch Issues
+Use `gh issue list --json number,title,body,labels` to fetch all open issues.
+
+### Step 2: Batch Creation
+Split issues into batches of ~10 issues each for parallel analysis.
+
+### Step 3: Parallel Agent Analysis
+For EACH batch, use the Task tool with `subagent_type=general-purpose` to launch an agent with prompt from `prompts/agent-prompt.md`
+
+### Step 4: Consolidate & Generate Report
+After all agents complete, create a comprehensive markdown report saved to `_bmad-output/triage-reports/triage-YYYY-MM-DD.md`
+
+## Report Format
+
+### Executive Summary
+- Total issues analyzed
+- Issue count by priority (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
+- Major themes discovered
+- Top 5 critical issues requiring immediate attention
+
+### Critical Issues (CRITICAL Priority)
+For each CRITICAL issue:
+- **#123 - [Issue Title](url)**
+- **What it's about:** [Deep understanding]
+- **Affected:** [Components]
+- **Why Critical:** [Rationale]
+- **Suggested Action:** [Specific action]
+
+### High Priority Issues (HIGH Priority)
+Same format as Critical, grouped by theme.
+
+### Theme Clusters
+For each major theme:
+- **Theme Name** (N issues)
+- **What connects these:** [Pattern]
+- **Root cause:** [If identifiable]
+- **Consolidated actions:** [Bulk actions if applicable]
+- **Issues:** #123, #456, #789
+
+### Relationships & Dependencies
+- **Duplicates:** List pairs with `gh issue close` commands
+- **Related Issues:** Groups of related issues
+- **Dependencies:** Blocking relationships
+
+### Cross-Repo Issues
+Issues that should be migrated to other repositories.
+
+For each, provide:
+```
+gh issue close XXX --repo CURRENT_REPO --comment "This issue belongs in REPO. Please report at https://github.com/TARGET_REPO/issues/new"
+```
+
+### Cleanup Candidates
+- **v4-related:** Deprecated version issues with close commands
+- **Stale:** No activity >30 days
+- **Low priority + old:** Low priority issues >60 days old
+
+### Actionable Next Steps
+Specific, prioritized actions:
+1. [CRITICAL] Fix broken installer - affects all new users
+2. [HIGH] Resolve Windows path escaping issues
+3. [HIGH] Address workflow integration bugs
+etc.
+
+Include `gh` commands where applicable for bulk actions.

-# Market Research Step 2: Customer Insights
-
-## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
-- 🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
-
-- 📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
-- 🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
-- ✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
-- 📋 YOU ARE A CUSTOMER INSIGHTS ANALYST, not content generator
-- 💬 FOCUS on customer behavior and needs analysis
-- 🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
-- ✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
-
-## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
-
-- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
-- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after customer insights content generation
-- 💾 ONLY save when user chooses C (Continue)
-- 📖 Update frontmatter `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]` before loading next step
-- 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
-
-## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
-
-- Current document and frontmatter from step-01 are available
-- Focus on customer behavior and needs analysis
-- Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
-- May need to search for current customer behavior trends
-
-## YOUR TASK:
-
-Conduct comprehensive customer insights analysis with emphasis on behavior patterns and needs.
-
-## CUSTOMER INSIGHTS SEQUENCE:
-
-### 1. Begin Customer Insights Analysis
-
-**UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS**: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different customer areas simultaneously and thoroughly
-
-Start with customer research approach:
-"Now I'll conduct **customer insights analysis** to understand customer behavior and needs.
-
-**Customer Insights Focus:**
-
-- Customer behavior patterns and preferences
-- Pain points and challenges
-- Decision-making processes
-- Customer journey mapping
-- Customer satisfaction drivers
-- Demographic and psychographic profiles
-
-**Let me search for current customer insights using parallel web searches for comprehensive coverage.**"
-
-### 2. Parallel Customer Research Execution
-
-**Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:**
-
-Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer behavior patterns"
-Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer pain points challenges"
-Search the web: "[product/service/market] customer decision process"
-
-**Analysis approach:**
-
-- Look for customer behavior studies and surveys
-- Search for customer experience and interaction patterns
-- Research customer satisfaction methodologies
-- Note generational and cultural customer variations
-- Research customer pain points and frustrations
-- Analyze decision-making processes and criteria
-
-### 3. Analyze and Aggregate Results
-
-**Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:**
-
-"After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate the customer insights:
-
-**Research Coverage:**
-
-- Customer behavior patterns and preferences
-- Pain points and challenges
-- Decision-making processes and journey mapping
-
-**Cross-Customer Analysis:**
-[Identify patterns connecting behavior, pain points, and decisions]
-
-**Quality Assessment:**
-[Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]"
-
-### 4. Generate Customer Insights Content
-
-Prepare customer analysis with web search citations:
-
-#### Content Structure:
-
-When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:
-
-```markdown
-## Customer Insights
-
-### Customer Behavior Patterns
-
-[Customer behavior analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Pain Points and Challenges
-
-[Pain points analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Decision-Making Processes
-
-[Decision-making analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Customer Journey Mapping
-
-[Customer journey analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Customer Satisfaction Drivers
-
-[Satisfaction drivers analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Demographic Profiles
-
-[Demographic profiles analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-
-### Psychographic Profiles
-
-[Psychographic profiles analysis with source citations]
-_Source: [URL]_
-```
-
-### 5. Present Analysis and Continue Option
-
-Show the generated customer insights and present continue option:
-"I've completed the **customer insights analysis** for customer behavior and needs.
-
-**Key Customer Findings:**
-
-- Customer behavior patterns clearly identified
-- Pain points and challenges thoroughly documented
-- Decision-making processes mapped
-- Customer journey insights captured
-- Satisfaction and profile data analyzed
-
-**Ready to proceed to competitive analysis?**
-[C] Continue - Save this to the document and proceed to competitive analysis
-
-### 6. Handle Continue Selection
-
-#### If 'C' (Continue):
-
-- Append the final content to the research document
-- Update frontmatter: `stepsCompleted: [1, 2]`
-- Load: `./step-05-competitive-analysis.md`
-
-## APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
-
-When user selects 'C', append the content directly to the research document using the structure from step 4.
-
-## SUCCESS METRICS:
-
-✅ Customer behavior patterns identified with current citations
-✅ Pain points and challenges clearly documented
-✅ Decision-making processes thoroughly analyzed
-✅ Customer journey insights captured and mapped
-✅ Customer satisfaction drivers identified
-✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly
-✅ Content properly appended to document when C selected
-
-## FAILURE MODES:
-
-❌ Relying solely on training data without web verification for current facts
-
-❌ Missing critical customer behavior patterns
-❌ Not identifying key pain points and challenges
-❌ Incomplete customer journey mapping
-❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation
-❌ Appending content without user selecting 'C'
-
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file
-❌ **CRITICAL**: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
-
-## CUSTOMER RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:
-
-- Search for customer behavior studies and surveys
-- Use market research firm and industry association sources
-- Research customer experience and interaction patterns
-- Note generational and cultural customer variations
-- Research customer satisfaction methodologies
-
-## NEXT STEP:
-
-After user selects 'C' and content is saved to document, load `./step-05-competitive-analysis.md` to focus on competitive landscape analysis.
-
-Remember: Always emphasize current customer data and rigorous source verification!
