+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/redis/go-redis/compare/vX.Y-1.Z...vX.Y.Z
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+### Highlights Section
+The Highlights section should contain the **most important** user-facing changes. Common categories include:
+
+- **Typed Errors** - Error handling improvements
+- **New Commands** - New Redis commands support (especially for new Redis versions)
+- **Search & Vector** - RediSearch and vector-related features
+- **Connection Pool** - Pool improvements and performance
+- **Metrics & Observability** - Monitoring and instrumentation
+- **Breaking Changes** - Any breaking changes (should be prominent)
+
+Each highlight should:
+- Have a descriptive title
+- Include context about why it matters
+- Link to relevant PRs
+- Include performance metrics if applicable
+
+### New Features Section
+- List all new features with PR links and contributor attribution
+- Use descriptive text, not just PR titles
+- Group related features together if it makes sense
+
+### Bug Fixes Section
+- Only include actual bug fixes
+- Be specific about what was broken and how it's fixed
+- Include issue links if the PR references an issue
+
+### Performance Section
+- Separate from New Features to highlight performance work
+- Include metrics when available (e.g., "47-67% faster", "33% less memory")
+- Explain the impact on users
+
+### Testing & Infrastructure Section
+- Include only important testing/CI changes
+- **Exclude** dependency bumps (e.g., dependabot PRs for actions)
+- **Exclude** minor CI tweaks unless they're significant
+- Include major Redis version updates in CI
+
+### What to Exclude
+- Dependency bumps (dependabot PRs)
+- Minor documentation typo fixes
+- Internal refactoring that doesn't affect users
+- Duplicate entries (same PR in multiple sections)
+- `dependabot[bot]` from contributors list
+
+### Formatting Rules
+1. **PR Links**: Use `([#XXXX](https://github.com/redis/go-redis/pull/XXXX))` format
+2. **Contributor Links**: Use `[@username](https://github.com/username)` format
+3. **Issue Links**: Use `([#XXXX](https://github.com/redis/go-redis/issues/XXXX))` format
+4. **Full Changelog**: Always include at the bottom with correct version comparison
+
+### Getting PR Information
+Use GitHub API to fetch PR details:
+```bash
+# Get recent merged PRs
+gh pr list --state merged --limit 50 --json number,title,author,mergedAt,url
+```
+
+Or use the GitHub web interface to review merged PRs between releases.
+
+### Example Workflow
+1. Gather all merged PRs since last release
+2. Categorize PRs by type (feature, bug fix, performance, etc.)
+3. Identify the 3-5 most important changes for Highlights
+4. Remove duplicates and dependency bumps
+5. Add PR and contributor links
+6. Review for clarity and completeness
+7. Add Full Changelog link with correct version tags
+
+## Example (v9.17.0)
+
+See the v9.17.0 release notes in `RELEASE-NOTES.md` for a complete example following this template.
