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 4d 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

Changelog Generator

Generate a clean, categorized changelog from git commits.

Process

1. Gather Commits

Use $ARGUMENTS as starting point (tag or date). Default: last 2 weeks.

# From a tag
git log --oneline --no-merges v1.0.0..HEAD

# From a date
git log --oneline --no-merges --since="$ARGUMENTS"

# Default
git log --oneline --no-merges --since="2 weeks ago" | head -50

2. Categorize Changes

  • ✨ New Features — new functionality visible to users
  • 🔧 Improvements — enhanced existing functionality
  • 🐛 Bug Fixes — resolved defects
  • 🔒 Security — CVE fixes, dependency upgrades
  • ⚠️ Breaking Changes — API changes, schema migrations
  • 📝 Documentation — doc updates

3. Filter Noise

Exclude: refactoring, test-only changes, CI/CD changes, merge commits, lint formatting

4. Translate to User-Friendly Language

  • Remove ticket prefixes
  • Replace internal service names with user-facing terms
  • Focus on what changed for the user, not how

5. Output

# Release Notes — [Version or Date]

## ✨ New Features
- **[Feature Name]**: [User-facing description]

## 🔧 Improvements
- **[Area]**: [What improved]

## 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed [user-visible issue]

## 🔒 Security
- Updated [dependency] to fix [CVE-ID]

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.
