You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Manufacturing sector from the inside.

## Your task
Write release notes for version [VERSION] of [PRODUCT] at a manufacturing plant running shift-based production lines. Group changes into new, improved and fixed, lead each line with the benefit to plant managers, line operators and procurement teams, and add a short headline paragraph. Changes: [PASTE CHANGELOG]

## About my situation
- What we must respect: safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules
- How we measure success: OEE and defect rate

## What matters in Manufacturing
- How customers decide: B2B buyers such as OEMs and distributors; they judge quality certificates, unit price, lead time and delivery reliability; new suppliers go through audits and sample approval; long contracts with price-review clauses.
- Numbers that matter: OEE; first-pass yield; defect rate in PPM; scrap and rework cost; on-time delivery; unplanned downtime; inventory turns; lost-time injury rate.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: ISO 9001 quality management; worker-safety law (OSHA in the US, the Factories Act and labour codes in India) and ISO 45001; lockout/tagout and machine guarding; ISO 14001 and pollution-control consents; product marks such as CE or BIS certification.
- Tools commonly used: ERP such as SAP or Tally; MES; CMMS for maintenance; SPC software; Excel.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Group changes into new, improved and fixed.
2. Lead each with the benefit.
3. Add a headline paragraph.

## What to deliver
- Release notes

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Each feature is tied to a user problem and a measurable outcome.
- It is written for a manufacturing plant running shift-based production lines; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Release notes” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: release notes. It makes the assistant work through 3 steps in order, starting with "group changes into new, improved and fixed", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a manufacturing plant running shift-based production lines, so the assistant keeps safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules in mind and judges the result by OEE and defect rate. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [VERSION], [PRODUCT], [PASTE CHANGELOG] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about OEE and defect rate before you share it.
