# Visual Studio Code Release Note Writer Guidelines

This skill is designed to help you write release notes for Visual Studio Code Insiders and Stable releases. It provides structured guidelines and examples to ensure consistency and clarity in the release notes.

There are two main types of release notes you can generate using this skill:

1. **Insiders Release Notes**: These notes cover the latest features and updates in the Insiders build of VS Code. They are updated frequently as new features are added. Their format includes sections grouped by the date of the updates. The content is generated based on closed GitHub issues and PRs for a specific milestone.

2. **Stable Release Notes**: These notes summarize the key features and improvements in a stable release of VS Code. They follow a more structured format with predefined sections for different feature areas. The release is intially created using a template and then updated by the engineering team.

Your task is help generate these release notes based on the provided guidelines, examples, and templates.
