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-note-captain 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 1mo 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 Note Captain

Create or update an Obsidian release note when a project is deployed, published, or finished.

Destination

Default folder:

Release Notes/

Default filename:

YYYY-MM-DD — Project Name.md

Use vault-relative paths only. If the release note already exists, read it first and update it instead of creating a duplicate.

Required Fields

Include these sections unless the user asks for a different format:

  • Project
  • Date
  • Status
  • Repo URL
  • Live URL, if available
  • Summary
  • What Shipped
  • Verification
  • SEO/GEO or Distribution Notes
  • Follow-Ups

Workflow

  1. Gather release facts from the conversation, repo, deploy output, GitHub, or local files.
  2. Use list_notes or get_note to check whether a release note already exists.
  3. Create the folder Release Notes if missing.
  4. Create or update the release note.
  5. Keep wording useful for both public release history and private project memory.
  6. End with the note path and any missing details that still need the user.

Style

  • Clear and compact.
  • Prefer bullets for shipped changes and verification.
  • Include exact URLs and commit hashes when available.
  • Avoid hype. State what shipped and why it matters.
  • Preserve unfinished follow-ups instead of burying them.

Template

Use templates/release-note.md as the base structure when creating a new note.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
