autoship is a command-line tool that automates releases for repositories using Changesets, including choosing a release type, creating changesets, and merging the required pull requests. Developers use it to manage versioned releases across one or more repositories with interactive or unattended workflows.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00225 | $0.00225 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00045 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
autoship AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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
Agent Instructions
Using autoship
For instructions on using the autoship CLI tool, see skills/autoship/SKILL.md.
Code Style
- Do not use emojis in code, output, or documentation. Unicode symbols are acceptable.
- Use TypeScript for all source files.
- Use ES modules (
import/export), not CommonJS. - Prefer
async/awaitover raw promises.
Package Management
Always check the latest version before installing a package.
Before adding or updating any dependency, verify the current latest version on npm:
npm view <package-name> version
Or check multiple packages at once:
npm view ai version
npm view @ai-sdk/provider-utils version
npm view zod version
This ensures we don't install outdated versions that may have incompatible types or missing features.
No Emojis
Do not use emojis anywhere in this codebase.
This includes:
- Log messages and console output
- Comments and documentation
- Commit messages
- Variable names or string literals
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.
