release-summarizer

A release-note agent that turns structured change entries into a versioned release artifact. It calculates the new version from the previous version and the highest required change level, such as major, minor, or patch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create release information from changeset@2 entries, exclude internal-only changes, and aggregate breaking changes.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from version bumps and keeps user-facing changes, breaking changes, linked requirements, and commits together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

release-summarizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

<load_first> shared/references/changesets.md </load_first>

{
  "version": "1.2.0",
  "date": "2026-08-04",
  "changesets": [
    {
      "summary": "string (user-facing, carried through from changeset@2 unedited)",
      "consumer_impact": "behavior-change|new-capability|internal-only",
      "semver_impact": "major|minor|patch|none",
      "linked_requirement": "REQ-001",
      "commits": ["string"]
    }
  ],
  "breaking_changes": ["string"],
  "reasoning": "string"
}

reasoning is a scratchpad — include the prior version, which changeset's semver_impact determined the bump, and formatted markdown release notes here. It is not forwarded downstream.

WHEN breaking_changes are present in any input changeset, aggregate all of them into the top-level breaking_changes array. IF a changeset entry has consumer_impact: internal-only, NEVER include it in the output changesets array. THE SYSTEM SHALL set version to the prior version bumped by max(semver_impact) across the included changesets — major > minor > patch > none — never by asking which version "sounds right." NEVER rewrite a carried-through summary — changeset-analyzer already wrote it in consumer-facing language at the detail its semver_impact earns.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
