+# v0.1.0 Release Notes (Draft)
+
+## Summary
+
+Initial open-source foundation release for `chalk-skills`.
+
+This release establishes a provider-agnostic skill contract, validation tooling, contribution workflow, and governance baseline for community contributions.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Standardized skill metadata contract:
+  - `name`, `description`, `owner`, `version`, `metadata-version`
+- Added ownership model and SemVer policy
+- Added validator (`scripts/validate-skills.sh`) for contract enforcement
+- Added skill scaffolder (`scripts/init-skill.sh`) for consistent skill creation
+- Added CI workflow to validate skill metadata on PRs/pushes
+- Added contribution and governance docs:
+  - `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, `SECURITY.md`, `SUPPORT.md`
+  - `docs/open-source-scope.md`, `docs/skill-contract.md`, `docs/versioning.md`, `docs/review-checklist.md`
+- Added `project-skill-creator` skill for safe project-managed skill creation
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- None expected for consumers using skills as markdown definitions.
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+- Provider-specific metadata files are not allowed in this repo.
+- Skill definitions should be stored using the unified `.chalk/skills` architecture.
+- All core skills are now Chalk-managed (`owner: chalk`).
+
+## Validation
+
+Before publishing changes, run:
+
+```bash
+make validate
+```
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+- Move from individual CODEOWNERS to org/team ownership once org setup is finalized.
