draft-release-notes

A drafting helper that turns the results of a changelog scan into organized release-note text. Release notes explain what changed in a software version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a proposed RELEASE_NOTES_DRAFT.md, categorize changes, highlight breaking or security-related items, and leave the final decision to a human.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent first draft while calling attention to breaking changes and security issues that may need early review.

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

draft-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 yesterday.

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

Draft Release Notes (Claude)

Follow the exact structure and rules from the Grok draft-release-notes skill.

Output a clean RELEASE_NOTES_DRAFT.md (or clear section the loop can persist). Always flag breaking + security at top. End with review note for human.

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.
