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-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 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

Generate Release Notes

Target version: $1 (or infer from package.json if not provided)

git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -5
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

Format

Group commits by type and write release notes in this structure:

## [version] - YYYY-MM-DD

### New Features
- ...

### Bug Fixes
- ...

### Performance
- ...

### Breaking Changes
- ...

### Internal
- ...

Rules:

  • Skip chore/style/ci commits from user-facing sections
  • Rewrite commit messages as user-friendly sentences (not "fix: null check" → "Fixed crash when user data is missing")
  • If a commit references an issue/PR, link it: ([#123](...))
  • BREAKING CHANGE footer entries go to Breaking Changes section

Output the final markdown, ready to paste into CHANGELOG.md or a GitHub release.

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.
