Rhdh Release Announce

Drafts the Slack message for an RHDH Feature Freeze or Code Freeze — either the milestone announcement sent on the day or the status update sent ahead of it — filling team counts, blocker bugs, CVEs, release notes, feature demos, and Test Day figures from Jira RHIDP and RHDHPLAN. Use for "announce feature freeze", "draft the code freeze message for 1.10", "send the freeze update for 1.11", or "write the freeze post for the release channel".

RHDH freeze announcements

Produce a Slack message a human posts under their own name. The counts come from the CLI; the voice must not sound machine-written.

Delivery boundary

Never post to Slack. This skill hands the user a message to copy; the user decides whether, when, and where it goes out.

Route

Load workflows/freeze-announcement.md. It maps the four announcements to their CLI tokens and carries the milestone-versus-update distinction, which is the thing people get wrong.

Boundary with the neighbouring skills

The date a freeze falls on is /rhdh-release-schedule.
The underlying counts, on their own and without a message around them, are /rhdh-release-status.
The team roster and Slack handles are /rhdh-release-teams.
Rich Filter configuration lives in /rhdh-release-status. When the CLI reports a template unavailable, run uv run scripts/release.py --json check, follow its next_steps, and retry. Never substitute a hand-written query for a Rich Filter scope.

Completion

Complete when the message is the edited draft, wrapped in a triple-backtick block ready to paste, with every placeholder filled and every count carrying a URL-encoded Jira search link. State which of the four announcements was drafted and whether it is the milestone or the update, so the sender knows what day it belongs to. A figure the CLI could not produce is named as missing in the note beside the draft rather than left as a placeholder or filled with a plausible number. Say explicitly that nothing was posted.
