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

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 10d 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.

Changelog — Changelog & Release Notes

Activate When

  • User invokes /godmode:changelog
  • User says "update changelog", "write release notes", "what changed?"
  • User says "generate migration guide", "breaking change documentation"
  • User says "set up conventional commits", "auto-generate changelog"
  • Preparing a release (often chained from /godmode:release or /godmode:ship)
  • Recent commits introduced breaking changes that need communication
  • Team publishes a new version to a package registry

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Change History

Examine commits, PRs, and tags since the last release:

CHANGE ANALYSIS:
  Last release: <tag> (<date>)

Commands to gather data:

# Commits since last tag
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline

Step 2: Conventional Commits Setup

If not already configured, set up Conventional Commits for automatic changelog generation:

Commit Message Format
<type>(<scope>)!: <description>

[optional body]

Types:

CONVENTIONAL COMMIT TYPES:
| Type | Description | Changelog? |
Commitlint Setup
# Install commitlint
npm install --save-dev @commitlint/cli @commitlint/config-conventional

Step 3: Keep a Changelog Format

Generate or update CHANGELOG.md following the Keep a Changelog standard:

# Changelog

This file documents all notable changes to this project.
Keep a Changelog Rules
CHANGELOG RULES:
1. Changelogs are for humans, not machines
2. Include an entry for every version

Step 4: Auto-Generate Changelog

Use tools to generate changelog from Conventional Commits:

conventional-changelog
# Install
npm install --save-dev conventional-changelog-cli

standard-version / release-please
# Option A: standard-version (local tool)
npm install --save-dev standard-version

# .github/workflows/release-please.yml
name: Release Please
on:

Step 5: Release Notes for Different Audiences

Write release notes tailored to who reads them:

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.
