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-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 6d 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

Release & CHANGELOG

When preparing a version bump or npm publish, always update the root changelog.

Required files

  1. CHANGELOG.md (repo root) — primary, human-readable history for adopters (Keep a Changelog).
  2. .changeset/*.md — drives semver + per-package changelogs via Changesets.
  3. packages/*/CHANGELOG.md — updated by pnpm changeset version (do not hand-edit unless fixing).

Release workflow

  1. Add a Changeset describing user-facing impact (not implementation detail).
  2. Update CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased] → move items into [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD before tagging.
  3. Run pnpm changeset version then pnpm build && pnpm test.
  4. Commit: chore(release): version packages to X.Y.Z.
  5. Tag with package-scoped tags ([email protected], not vX.Y.Z).
  6. pnpm changeset publish (npm OTP if required).
  7. GitHub release on tag [email protected]; link to root CHANGELOG.md section.

CHANGELOG sections

Use: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.

Write for adopters (what changed in behavior), not for maintainers (file names).

Semver

  • patch — bug fixes, false-positive reductions, docs-only if user-visible.
  • minor — new rules/features, backward-compatible preset/config changes.
  • major — breaking CLI/config/API removals or default behavior breaks.

Example entry

## [0.3.1] - 2026-05-31

### Fixed

- SQL style rules skip Jinja in `source()` and `{{ config() }}` blocks.
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.
