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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00017 $0.00419
Opus 5 $0.00009 $0.00210

Security

Grade A, and why

add-to-changelog 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 7d 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

Update Changelog

Add a new entry to the project's CHANGELOG.md file based on the provided arguments.

Parse Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract:

  • Version number (e.g., "1.1.0")
  • Change type: "added", "changed", "deprecated", "removed", "fixed", or "security"
  • <message> is the description of the change

Examples

/add-to-changelog 1.1.0 added "New markdown to BlockDoc conversion feature"
/add-to-changelog 1.0.2 fixed "Bug in HTML renderer causing incorrect output"

Description

This command will:

  1. Check if a CHANGELOG.md file exists and create one if needed
  2. Look for an existing section for the specified version
    • If found, add the new entry under the appropriate change type section
    • If not found, create a new version section with today's date
  3. Format the entry according to Keep a Changelog conventions
  4. Commit the changes if requested

The CHANGELOG follows the Keep a Changelog format and Semantic Versioning.

Implementation

The command should:

  1. Parse the arguments to extract version, change type, and message
  2. Read the existing CHANGELOG.md file if it exists
  3. If the file doesn't exist, create a new one with standard header
  4. Check if the version section already exists
  5. Add the new entry in the appropriate section
  6. Write the updated content back to the file
  7. Suggest committing the changes

Remember to update the package version in __init__.py and setup.py if this is a new version.

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.
