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

po-release-notes 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 9d 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.

Release Notes Generator

Purpose

Release notes are not a commit log. Stakeholders and customers do not care which service was refactored — they care what they can do now that they couldn't do before. This skill reads the Sprint's completed work items and translates them into outcomes, grouped by theme, in language the audience actually understands.


Tool detection

  1. Check for active mcp__azure-devops__* tools → $PM_TOOL = ado
  2. Check for active mcp__jira__* tools → $PM_TOOL = jira
  3. If neither → $PM_TOOL = manual

Step 1 — Identify the Sprint and audience

Ask: "Which Sprint are we writing release notes for? And who is the audience — customers, internal stakeholders, or both?"

Audience Tone Detail level
Customers / end users Plain language, benefit-focused Feature outcomes only; no internal jargon
Internal stakeholders Business language, outcome + context Feature outcomes plus metrics/context
Technical stakeholders More detail allowed May include architecture changes, migrations

Store as $SPRINT and $AUDIENCE.


Step 2 — Fetch completed work items

  • ADO: use wit_get_work_items_for_iteration filtered to Done/Closed state, or use wit_query_by_wiql for the iteration. Read title, description, acceptance criteria, and type (Story, Bug, Task, Feature).
  • Jira: use sprint reporting tools to list resolved issues. Read summary, description, issue type, and fix version.
  • Manual: ask "Paste the list of completed items — title, type, and a one-line description is enough."

Exclude purely technical work items (infrastructure tasks, pipeline fixes, dependency bumps) unless they have user-visible impact. When in doubt, ask the PO.


Step 3 — Group and categorise

Before writing, cluster the completed items into meaningful themes. Good themes are user-facing capability areas, not technical layers.

Good groupings:

  • "Reporting" — items related to dashboards, exports, data views
  • "Notifications" — items related to alerts, emails, push
  • "Performance & reliability" — items that improved speed or fixed errors users experienced

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.
