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-observer 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 12d 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 Observer

Track session context in .changelog/session-YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Log target

  • Use .changelog/session-YYYY-MM-DD.md for the current local date.
  • Create .changelog/ and the session file if they do not exist.
  • If the session file is new, initialize it from template.md.
  • Append new entries in chronological order.

What to log

  • file-change: after creating, editing, or deleting project files.
  • test-result: after running tests, checks, or validation commands.
  • decision: after making an implementation or architecture decision worth preserving.

Entry rules

  • Keep each description short and specific.
  • List only directly affected files.
  • Use none when no files were changed.
  • Do not rewrite earlier entries unless they are incorrect.

Template

Use the markdown structure in template.md for each appended entry.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
