messages.
+
+## Release Event Post
+
+Event posts live in `content/events/<slug>/index.md`.
+Slug format: `release-apache-skywalking-<component>-<version>` with dots
replaced by dashes (e.g. `release-apache-skywalking-java-agent-9-6-0`).
+
+### Frontmatter
+```yaml

+title: Release Apache SkyWalking <Component Name> <VERSION>
+date: YYYY-MM-DD
+author: SkyWalking Team
+description: "Release Apache SkyWalking <Component Name> <VERSION>."
+---
+```
+
+### Body
+1. Opening: `SkyWalking <Component Name> X.X.X is released. Go to
[downloads](/downloads) page to find release tars.`
+2. `Changes by Version` header
+3. Version number with `------------------` underline
+4. Bullet list of user-facing changes from the source repo's `CHANGES.md` at
the release tag. Exclude dependency bumps, build-only, and test-only items.
+5. Closing: `All issues and pull requests are [here](<github milestone link>)`
+
+## data/releases.yml Update
+
+### Link rules
+- **Latest version** (top entry): uses
`https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/skywalking/...` for download and
`https://downloads.apache.org/skywalking/...` for asc/sha512.
+- **Older versions**: use `https://archive.apache.org/dist/skywalking/...` for
all links (download, asc, sha512).
+- When adding a new version, insert it at the top and demote the previous
latest version's links to `archive.apache.org`.
+
+### URL pattern
+All components follow:
`skywalking/<url-path-segment>/<version>/<artifact-filename>`
+
+### Component reference
+
+| Component | URL path segment | Artifact prefix | Source v-prefix | Dist
v-prefix |

(source only) |
+| Eyes | `eyes/` | `skywalking-license-eye-` | yes | yes |
+| Infra E2E | `infra-e2e/` | `skywalking-e2e-` | yes | yes |
+
+### Date format
+Use `Mon. DDth, YYYY` with ordinal suffixes: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, all others th
(e.g. `Feb. 16th, 2026`).
+
+## data/docs.yml Update
+
+When releasing a new version, update the component's `docs` section:
+
+1. **Update `Latest`**: change its `commitId` to the new release tag's
dereferenced commit SHA (for annotated tags, dereference with `gh api
repos/apache/<repo>/git/tags/<tag-sha> --jq '.object.sha'`).
+2. **Add new versioned entry**: insert a `v<VERSION>` entry right after
`Latest` with the same commitId and link pattern
`/docs/<repo-slug>/v<VERSION>/readme/`.
+3. **Keep old versions** as-is.
+
+### Docs entry types
+Components use two styles in docs.yml:
+- **Hugo-hosted docs** (have `repoUrl`): use
`/docs/<repo-slug>/<version>/readme/` links with `commitId`. These have `Next`,
`Latest`, and versioned entries.
+- **GitHub-linked docs** (no `repoUrl`): use direct GitHub links like
`https://github.com/apache/<repo>/tree/v<VERSION>`. These only have versioned
entries, no `Latest`/`Next`.
+
+### Getting the commitId
+```bash
+# Get tag object SHA
+TAG_SHA=$(gh api repos/apache/<repo>/git/ref/tags/v<VERSION> --jq
'.object.sha')
+# Dereference annotated tag to actual commit
+COMMIT_SHA=$(gh api repos/apache/<repo>/git/tags/$TAG_SHA --jq '.object.sha')
+```
