## What it does

The skill builds an HTML page with the release version, date, a short summary, and sections for additions, fixes, breaking changes, known issues, and upgrade guidance. When details are missing, it inserts explicit placeholder text such as “None” rather than guessing.

Its resources include an HTML seed, layout references, an example, and a review checklist. The workflow copies the seed to `index.html`, adapts the page to the active `DESIGN.md`, and checks the result against the checklist. It avoids writing CSS from scratch unless asked. The project needs an active `DESIGN.md` for the documented design-system mapping, so that file is a prerequisite for the full workflow.

# Release Notes One-Pager Skill

Produce a single-page release notes document in HTML.

## Resource map

```
release-notes-one-pager/
├── SKILL.md                    ← this file
├── example.html                ← quality bar and style reference
├── assets/
│   └── template.html           ← local seed file to copy to project index.html
└── references/
    ├── checklist.md            ← P0 / P1 / P2 gates
    └── layouts.md              ← local section skeletons
```

Do not write CSS from scratch unless the user explicitly asks for a bespoke structure.

## Workflow

### Step 0 — Pre-flight

1. Read `assets/template.html`.
2. Read `references/layouts.md`.
3. Read active `DESIGN.md` and map it to the six `:root` variables.

### Step 1 — Start from the shared seed

Copy `assets/template.html` to project `index.html`.

Update:
- `<title>`
- topnav logo text
- topnav link labels (destinations are pre-wired to `#added`, `#fixed`, `#upgrade-note`)
- topnav CTA label and `href` destination, or omit the topnav CTA entirely if no real destination exists
- ensure the topnav link targets exist by adding matching section `id` attributes

### Step 2 — Build release-note structure

Inside `<main id="content">`, compose this section order:

1. Hero (Layout 1 or 2): version, date, one-sentence summary.
2. Added (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include `id="added"`).
3. Fixed (use Layout 7 log-list; section root must include `id="fixed"`).
4. Breaking changes (use Layout 7 log-list, or one row explicitly saying "None"; section root must include `id="breaking-changes"`).
5. Known issues (Layout 7 or card list; section root must include `id="known-issues"`).
6. Upgrade note (short steps list or explicit no-action statement; section root must include `id="upgrade-note"`).
7. Closing CTA strip (Layout 6).
