What it does

When installed, the agent can turn a Paperclip release changelog into a single copy-pasteable Discord announcement formatted in the project maintainer's house style, with highlights, roadmap themes, contributor thanks and install instructions. It also saves the draft as a document on the release issue and posts it as a comment so a human can copy it out. The skill is a written set of instructions, and it tells the agent to keep the version, date and highlights matched to the changelog.

Great for

  • Maintainers of the Paperclip project preparing a stable release announcement
  • Community or marketing staff who need a Discord post drafted from release notes
  • Teams reusing this release-process pattern for their own project announcements

Skip it if

  • Users of Paperclip who only want to install or run it, since the skill does nothing for the product itself
  • Projects without a matching changelog file, because the skill is designed to follow one and the output may be inaccurate without it
  • Posting without review: the template ends with an @everyone ping, so a human should check the draft before it goes out

Try asking

  • “Write the Discord announcement for the stable v2025 release from its changelog file”
  • “Refresh the discord_announcement document on the release issue after the version changed”
  • “Draft the WHATS NEXT and What's on my mind sections from current roadmap issues”

Get better results

  • Merge the post-stable changelog canonicalization PR before posting, because the full release notes link depends on it
  • Review the @everyone ping and the 'What's on my mind' section by hand before posting
  • Keep the version, date and highlight set in sync with the changelog; regenerate the draft if the changelog changes
