Release blog writer

Purpose

Use this skill to write release blogs that feel like product communication, not raw changelog output. The blog may be written in English, Chinese, or another user-requested language, but these instructions stay language-agnostic and project-agnostic.

Core writing rules

• Follow the user's requested language and the style of existing release blogs for the same product.
• Use previous major or minor release posts as the primary style reference when available.
• Prefer clear user value over implementation trivia.
• Avoid turning the blog into a complete changelog.

Recommended shape

Use the project's existing blog metadata and component conventions. If the product has neighboring release posts, mirror their frontmatter, author block, date format, title style, and navigation pattern.

Section writing

Each feature section should usually follow this pattern:

• Describe the change clearly so readers understand its background, purpose, use cases, and user-facing benefits such as performance gains.
• Avoid exhaustive API lists; select the key APIs or behaviors readers need, and when useful, use one precise code or configuration example to make the change clear at a glance.

Headings

• Use sentence case for titles and headings.
• Keep headings short and specific.
• Keep anchors stable and readable.
  • If the website is built with Rspress, use the Rspress anchor syntax, such as \{#foo-bar}.
  • For multilingual posts, treat the English post as the source of truth for section anchors. Matching headings in other languages should resolve to the same final anchor as the English heading, adding \{#anchor-id} when their generated anchor would differ.
  • Default English anchors are generated by lowercasing the heading, removing punctuation, replacing whitespace with hyphens, and appending numeric suffixes for duplicates. If the English heading is long or the generated anchor is not stable enough, choose a short semantic custom anchor and apply it to every language version.
  • Do not add a custom anchor when it is identical to the default generated anchor.

Tone

• Be professional, direct, and understated.
• Avoid vague claims such as "greatly improved" unless the improvement is explained or quantified.
• Avoid slogan-like positioning in feature updates unless intentionally discussing product vision.
• Qualify benchmark numbers with enough context to make them credible.
• When presenting performance gains, bold only the key improvement numbers, avoid frequent emphasis, and use tables or images when they make the comparison clearer at a glance.
• Use product and ecosystem terms consistently.
• Write naturally in the target language; do not let the prose read like a literal translation from another language.

Links

Add links where they help readers continue:

• Product documentation for options, APIs, plugins, or migration steps.
• Upstream PRs or specs for implementation context.
• Platform documentation for browser, Node.js, or language features.

Do not over-link common terms. Link the first meaningful occurrence or the option name users are likely to search for.

For Rstack documentation links on rspack.rs, rsbuild.rs, rspress.rs, rslib.rs, rsdoctor.rs, and rstest.rs, match the URL language to the blog language. In Chinese posts, prefer /zh/ paths such as https://rspack.rs/zh/; in English posts, omit /zh/ because the default docs are English. Apply the same rule to deeper documentation URLs.

Revision behavior

When revising an existing blog:

• Keep the user's latest manual edits unless they conflict with the request.
• Prefer small targeted edits over broad rewrites.
• If the user asks to remove a kind of detail, remove it consistently across the post.
