 - Write tests.
 - Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.
 - Write a [good commit message](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).
+- For user-facing changes, add a change-note file. See [unreleased-change-notes/README.md](unreleased-change-notes/README.md).

+## Change notes
+
+Change-notes are Markdown files used to document user-facing changes. When making a change that affects users, create a Markdown file here that describes the change. During the next release, the change-note files in `unreleased-change-notes/` will automatically be added to `CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+### Change-note file format
+
+Change-note files must follow a certain format so that they can be automatically validated and processed. Failure to follow the format will result in a failed PR check.
+
+You may validate your change-note file locally by running `npx tsx pr-checks/changenotes.ts validate`. This command will scan all change-note files in `unreleased-change-notes/` and report any errors.
+
+
+#### Body
+
+The body of the change-note file must:
+
+- Be written in valid [GitHub-Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/).
+- Be structured as a single unordered Markdown list with hyphen (`-`) bullets. Each list item should describe a single change. If there are multiple changes, use multiple list items.
+
+### Example change-note file
+
+```
+- Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of the CodeQL bundle could terminate the `init` Action instead of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. [#4061](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4061)
+- Fix incorrect minimum required Git version for [improved incremental analysis](https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/1158): it should have been 2.36.0, not 2.11.0. [#3781](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3781)

If the path does not point to a repository checkout or is different from the path that was used by `codeql-action/init`, then the CodeQL Action now produces a warning.

+- The `codeql-action/start-proxy` step that is used in Code Scanning Default Setup now finds CodeQL releases using the same logic as `codeql-action/init`. This primarily benefits customers who are using GitHub instances other than `github.com` where the `codeql-action/start-proxy` step may previously have been unable to locate recent releases and ended up using outdated versions of the private registry authentication proxy as a result.

				- The `codeql-action/analyze` step now validates that a correct argument for the `checkout_path` input has been provided. The `checkout_path` input must be set to the path where the repository that is being analyzed is checked out at on the runner, if that path is something other than the workspace root. If the path does not point to a repository checkout or is different from the path that was used by `codeql-action/init`, then the CodeQL Action now produces a warning.
