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-review 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 2d 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

Purpose and inputs

Advisory only. Do not bump versions, merge a release PR, or use publish credentials.

Steps

  1. Scope: Diff against main (feature PR) or the previous v* tag (release PR). List payload paths (apps/api|web|mobile, packages/, tools/, scripts/, .cursor/, .agents/, generator).
  2. Title: Suggest a conventional title (feat/fix/perf or ! / BREAKING CHANGE). Flag docs/chore/test/ci/style when payload paths changed unless the body has skip-release: true.
  3. Contract: Note generator CLI, template include/exclude, and docs snapshot impact. Generated trees must not gain the documentation app or the generator.
  4. Notes: Draft user-facing changelog bullets and required adopter actions. Keep Release Please's deterministic changelog authoritative.
  5. Evidence: Link tests, classification, and (on a release PR) scaffold acceptance. Stop if a human gate is missing (npm trusted publisher, GitHub App, who may merge).

Completion

Read completion evidence; return advisory findings without changing versions or publishing.

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.
