What this skill does
Release Discord Announcement Skill Write the Discord release announcement for the stable Paperclip release. This is the companion to .agents/skills/release-changelog/SKILL.md. That skill writes the changelog — during the beta soak it lives at releases/beta/v{beta-version}.md on the release-notes/v{beta-version} branch, and after the stable ships a canonicalization PR renames it to releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md (see that skill's Channel Process section).

When to use After release-changelog has produced the changelog (beta-keyed on the release-notes/v{beta-version} branch during the soak, or the canonicalized releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md after the stable ships). When the release issue (the one assigned by the release routine) asks for a Discord announcement, or has a discordannouncement document that needs to be refreshed for a new date/version. Never run this in isolation. The version, date, contributor list, and highlight set MUST match the matching changelog file — if the changelog has been updated, refresh this too. Output A single fenced markdown code block, ready to paste into Discord. Attached as issue document key discordannouncement on the release issue, and pasted verbatim into a comment on that issue so the human can copy it out. When Cases are enabled, also upsert the social child case described below. …
