 ### 4. Tone & Style Guidelines
 
-- **Lead with value**: "You can now..." beats "We added..."
-- **Be specific**: Name the feature, not just the category
-- **Use energy words**: "blazing", "seamless", "rock-solid", "powerful", "finally"
+- **Lead with what changed**: "You can now..." or "Forge now..." beats "We added..."
+- **Be specific**: Name the feature and describe what it does, not just the category
+- **Be informative, not marketty**: Avoid vague adjectives like "seamless", "smarter", "blazing", "powerful", "rock-solid". Instead, state the concrete fact (e.g. "editor no longer spawns a git process on every keystroke" beats "blazing-fast editor")
+- **Enthusiasm through substance**: Let the actual improvement speak for itself. Use active, direct language.
 - **Short paragraphs**: Max 3 sentences per block
 - **Skip internal jargon**: Translate crate names and internal concepts into plain language
-- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them enthusiastically
-- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Adjective] [Theme]` (e.g. "v1.32.0 — Smarter Config, Smoother Workflows")
+- **Celebrate contributors**: Name them by handle
+- **Tagline formula**: `[Version] — [Factual Theme Description]` (e.g. "v1.32.0 — Terminal Context, File Drop Support, Windows Performance")
 - **No implementation details**: Do not mention internal module names, struct names, function names, crate names, or how something was implemented. Focus purely on what the user experiences or gains.
 - **No PR/issue references**: Do not include PR numbers, issue numbers, or links to GitHub PRs/issues in the release notes. Focus on the changes themselves, not their tracking identifiers.
