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.

Release Notes Generator

把从上一个 tag 到当前 HEAD(或指定 tag)之间的 git 历史整理成符合 Keep a Changelog 的发版说明。

何时触发

  • 用户说:"生成 v1.2.0 的 release notes" / "写一下 0.4.0 的 changelog"
  • 用户打了新 tag(例如 v0.4.0)后要求写说明
  • cron 在 v*.*.* tag 推送后触发

输入

  • 必需:目标版本号(形如 v0.4.0 或 0.4.0,自动带/去 v 前缀兼容)
  • 可选:上一个 tag(默认用 git describe --tags --abbrev=0 <target>^)

输出

两个文件都要写:

  1. CHANGELOG.md:在 ## [Unreleased] 下方插入新条目(不覆盖旧版本)
  2. docs/releases/<version>.md:独立的发版公告(便于网站、邮件、微信直接引用)

工作流程

Step 1:预检

# 1.1 必须在 git 仓库里
git rev-parse --show-toplevel

# 1.2 工作区必须干净(有未提交改动时警告,不强制)
git status --porcelain

# 1.3 确认目标版本格式
# 接受 v0.4.0 / 0.4.0;内部统一成 v0.4.0

失败就停下来告诉用户,不要继续生成"碰运气"内容。

Step 2:收集原始数据

# 上一个 tag
PREV=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 <target>^ 2>/dev/null || echo "")

# 范围内的 commit 清单(排除 merge commits)
git log ${PREV:+$PREV..}<target> --oneline --no-merges

# 每个 commit 的完整 message(分类需要 body)
git log ${PREV:+$PREV..}<target> --format='%H%n%s%n%b%n---' --no-merges

没有 PREV(第一次发版)时,列全部历史,但限 50 条以内(多了就说"initial release")。

Step 3:按 Conventional Commits 分类

正则匹配 commit message 首行的前缀:

前缀 CHANGELOG 段 优先级
feat(<scope>): 或 feat: ### Added 1
fix(...) ### Fixed 2
refactor(...) ### Changed 3
perf(...) ### Changed 3
docs(...) ### Documentation 4
chore(...) / test(...) / ci(...) 跳过,除非是 breaking 或 chore: bump version -
BREAKING CHANGE: 出现在 body ### Breaking(置顶) 0
其他 ### Other 5

每条在段内按时间倒序排列。

Step 4:抽取 issue / PR 引用

对每条 commit 扫 body 里的 #(\d+)、(#\d+)、GH-\d+:

# 如果有 gh CLI 且 issue 开着,拿 title 补充上下文
gh issue view <N> --json title,labels -q '.title + " [" + (.labels | map(.name) | join(",")) + "]"'

没 gh CLI 或 issue 404 → 保留 #N 原样引用,不崩。

硬约束:每一个在 commit body 里出现的 #N 引用都必须保留在对应 bullet 末尾,格式 . Refs #N。不能偷懒抽象掉——审查人要靠它回追 issue。如果一条 commit 有多个 #N,全部列出:. Refs #12, #17。

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.
