+## Project Context
 
-Your job is to execute a versioned release with proper guardrails.
+Agent Brain is a monorepo at `/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain` containing:
+- `agent-brain-server/` - FastAPI server (builds as `agent_brain_rag` wheel, PyPI: `agent-brain-rag`)
+- `agent-brain-cli/` - CLI tool (builds as `agent_brain_cli` wheel, PyPI: `agent-brain-cli`)

 Before any release actions:
 
 1. **Clean working tree**: `git status --porcelain` must be empty
 2. **On main branch**: `git branch --show-current` must be `main`
 3. **Synced with remote**: `git fetch origin && git diff origin/main` must be empty
-4. **CLI dependency on PyPI**: Check `agent-brain-cli/pyproject.toml` does NOT have `path = "../agent-brain-server"`. If it does, flip to PyPI first.

+8. **Create GitHub release** with generated notes (triggers PyPI publish via CI)
+9. **Verify PyPI publish**: Poll PyPI until packages appear

+## Release Notes Generation
+
+Collect commits since last tag and group by conventional commit type:
+```bash
+git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline
+```
+
+Format with sections: Features, Bug Fixes, Performance, Documentation, Other Changes.
