-            Context:
-            - Previous tag: `${{ steps.prev_version.outputs.tag }}`
-            - New version: `${{ steps.version.outputs.new_version }}`
-            - This is the main CLI package for Vizzly visual testing.
-
-            Instructions:
-            1. Use git commands to inspect commits and changed files since the previous tag. If there is no previous tag, inspect the recent release commits.
-            2. Read relevant code changes when commit messages are not enough.
-            3. Generate user-friendly release notes with categories: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed.
-            4. Focus on user-facing changes. Skip internal refactors unless they affect behavior.
-            5. Omit empty sections.
-            6. If there are no meaningful user-facing changes, write a brief summary.
-            7. Save the release notes to `RELEASE-NOTES.md`.
-
-            Use this format:
-
-            ## What's Changed
-
-            ### Added
-            - New features and capabilities
-
-            ### Changed
-            - Breaking or notable behavioral changes
-
-            ### Fixed
-            - Bug fixes
-
-            ### Removed
-            - Deprecated features removed
