All 13 Twitter/X tweet variants exceeded Twitter's 280-character limit, making them unusable for direct copy-paste posting.

Rewrote each tweet to fit within the limit using Twitter-accurate counting (URLs = 23 chars via t.co, supplementary Unicode/emoji = 2 chars). All tweets now land between 268–277 characters. Key messaging retained across variants: AI-agent readiness, new component types, UX/DX improvements, and resource links.

Original prompt

Prepare SmarkForm release 0.13.0 following the repository guide in AGENTS/Release-Process.md.

Repo: bitifet/SmarkForm
Base branch: main
Target version: 0.13.0
Release date for changelog: 2026-02-27

Guide source: https://github.com/bitifet/SmarkForm/blob/da3114d93a0b8b4d4838d676ad8f02661dc7ed58/AGENTS/Release-Process.md

Tasks

1) Identify previous release

  • Determine the most recent version tag prior to 0.13.0 (tags are x.y.z, no v).
  • Use it to compute commit history since the previous tag.

2) Release summary

  • Produce a user-facing summary of changes since the previous tag, grouped into:
    • Features
    • Bug fixes
    • Other
  • Apply the brevity rules from the guide (one line per bullet, group trivial/internal/dependency-only items appropriately).

3) Security audit

  • Run npm audit.
  • If vulnerabilities exist, run npm audit fix (and --force if needed).
  • Ensure npm test passes after any fixes; if failures occur, diagnose and adjust/revert dependency changes as needed.
  • Record outcome in RELEASE_PREP.md Security Notes section.

4) Tests

  • Ensure npm test passes (before and after build).

5) Update versions

  • Update root package.json version to 0.13.0.
  • Run npm install to regenerate package-lock.json with the new version.
  • Update docs/_data/package.json to match root package.json (can do immediate copy; build should also refresh).

6) Build

  • Run npm run build successfully.
  • Run npm test again after build.

7) Update CHANGELOG.md

  • Replace ## [Unreleased] with ## [0.13.0] — 2026-02-27.
  • Add a short summary paragraph (condensed from the release summary).
  • Add a GitHub Release link: https://github.com/bitifet/SmarkForm/releases/tag/0.13.0.
  • Add a new blank ## [Unreleased] section above it for future entries.

8) Create RELEASE_PREP.md

  • Create/overwrite RELEASE_PREP.md at repo root containing all required sections from the guide.
  • Populate it with:
    • Release Notes Summary (paragraph + grouped bullets)
    • Telegram announcement text
    • Social media texts (Twitter/X + LinkedIn), including tailored variants for each community listed in the guide. Include Accessibility variant only if 0.13.0 includes accessibility improvements.
    • Security Notes section outcome.

9) Manual steps reminder

  • In the PR description (or a comment in RELEASE_PREP.md), remind the user of the manual steps not to be automated: squash+commit message “Version 0.13.0”, tagging, GitHub Release creation, npm publish, and stable branch rebase.

Output

  • Open a PR with a clear title like: Release prep: 0.13.0.
  • Ensure PR includes only the necessary changes to prepare the release.
  • Do NOT perform tagging, publishing, or GitHub Release creation.

Hey @copilot,

Still not what I want...

I've gotten to this version so far:

A lot of time has passed since the last SmarkForm release, but it has not been in vain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
SmarkForm 0.13.0 brings many small improvements that, together, make it a much more complete and mature solution.                                                                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
From a deep revision of the documentation (now printer and dark mode friendly) that includes new FAQs and a simple but complete illustrated guide for end-users, to multiple improvements and bug fixes, passing through a new brand image with its new SVG logo; this new version represents an important step forward in the |evolution of the library.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Carefully attending to every detail, from the workflows in the development process but especially putting emphasis on a user experience that is more intuitive and accessible than ever, SmarkForm 0.13.0 is a release that we are very proud of and that we hope will be very useful for all of you.                          

And I'd like to extend it including the following points:

  • AI-agent ready: Generate complete, working forms by describing them to any AI assistant (mentioning the "AI and Agents resources" section).
    • On this regard, I like the following sentence: "SmarkForm’s clean, declarative API makes it a natural fit for AI-assisted development"
    • I'd also like to note that the new example in the documentation's landing page is 100% AI-generated (with no single further tweak) which proves the effectiveness of the library for this use case.
  • UX improvements (better focus management, default values, reset action, behavioral tweaks...) and bugfixes. Everything chasing perfection.
  • DX improvements (Fixed workflow issues, implemented visual DOM error nodes, singleton option conflict detection...).

And also:

  • Providding a "central" link to the documentation landing page.
  • Encouraging to keep updated through official Telegram channel.
  • Contact through Telegram community chat and GitHub brainstorm for questions, ideas, suggestions...
  • And finally, additional resources (links):
    • GitHub
    • NPM
    • AI resources for agents

The announcements should include as much information as possible, but respecting the target platform's limits (such as Twitter's character limit) and, whenever possible, links to the mentioned resources.

Hey @copilot,

Still not what I want... ...

Done in bf3c0bd. Here's what changed:

Telegram announcement — replaced the previous bulleted walkthrough with your drafted text as the opening, then extended with dedicated sections for:

  • 🤖 AI-agent ready — includes "SmarkForm's clean, declarative API makes it a natural fit for AI-assisted development", the note about the landing page example being 100% AI-generated with no tweaks, and a link to https://smarkform.bitifet.net/about/ai
  • ⌨️ UX improvements — focus management, default values, reset action, min_items flexibility, behavioral tweaks/bugfixes
  • 🛠️ DX improvements — workflow issues, visual DOM error nodes, singleton option conflict detection
  • 🎨 SVG logo section (kept, with dev.to link)
  • 📖 Documentation overhaul section (kept)
  • Closing: docs link, "stay up to date via the Telegram channel" (https://t.me/smarkform), community contact (Telegram chat + GitHub brainstorm), and a resources footer with NPM, GitHub, and AI & Agents links

Social media posts — all 12 Twitter/X variants and all 5 LinkedIn variants now include relevant resource links (https://smarkform.bitifet.net, https://www.npmjs.com/package/smarkform, https://github.com/bitifet/SmarkForm, https://smarkform.bitifet.net/about/ai) and mention the AI-agent readiness where audience-appropriate. The "Actually Build in Public" variant now includes all four links at the footer.

Hey @copilot

I've just commited a new revision with minor corrections and updated the AGENTS/Release-Process.md with a few tweaks.

Most worth to mention is enforcing twitter's max character count (so the generated tweets can actually copied and pasted directly to twitter.
