+# App Store Release Notes Guidelines
+
+## Goals
+- Produce user-facing release notes that describe visible changes since the last tag.
+- Include all user-impacting changes; omit purely internal or refactor-only work.
+- Keep language plain, short, and benefit-focused.
+
+## Output Shape
+- Prefer 5 to 10 bullets total for most releases.
+- Group by theme if needed: New, Improved, Fixed.
+- Each bullet should be one sentence and start with a verb.
+- Avoid internal codenames, ticket IDs, or file paths.
+
+## Filtering Rules
+- Include: new features, UI changes, behavior changes, bug fixes users would notice, performance improvements with visible impact.
+- Exclude: refactors, dependency bumps, CI changes, developer tooling, internal logging, analytics changes unless they affect user privacy or behavior.
+- If a change is ambiguous, ask for clarification or describe it as a small improvement only if it is user-visible.
+
+## Language Guidance
+- Translate technical terms into user-facing descriptions.
+- Avoid versions of "API", "refactor", "nil", "crash log", or "dependency".
+- Prefer "Improved", "Added", "Fixed", "Updated" or action verbs like "Search", "Upload", "Sync".
+- Keep tense present or past: "Added", "Improved", "Fixed".
+
+## Examples
+- "Added account switching from the profile menu."
+- "Improved timeline loading speed on slow connections."
+- "Fixed media attachments not opening in full screen."
+
+## QA Checklist
+- Every bullet ties to a real change in the range.
+- No duplicate bullets that describe the same change.
+- No internal jargon or file paths.
+- Final list fits App Store text limits for the target storefront if provided.
