Changelog Drafter

Turns a raw list of shipped things into a tight, readable update.

Output format

## {YYYY-MM-DD} — {Headline}

{One-sentence framing of the week / period.}

- **{Thing 1}** — {one sentence on why it matters}
- **{Thing 2}** — {one sentence on why it matters}
- **{Thing 3}** — {one sentence on why it matters}

{Optional: one-line "coming next" teaser.}

Rules

1. Lead each bullet with the user-facing change, not the implementation detail. ("Faster export" beats "switched ffmpeg pipeline".)
2. Maximum 6 bullets. If you have more, group them.
3. No marketing adjectives ("amazing", "incredible", "huge").
4. The headline summarizes the theme, not every item. If there's no theme, use the date.

Workflow

1. Take the raw list (commits, ticket titles, freeform notes).
2. Group by user-facing area.
3. Rewrite each as **{noun phrase}** — {one sentence}.
4. Draft the framing line last so it reflects the actual bullets.
