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

semver-bump-advisor 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 5d 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

Analyze git commit histories (Conventional Commits), API changes, and export diffs to determine the exact Semantic Versioning (SemVer 2.0.0) bump required (PATCH, MINOR, or MAJOR) with full rationale.

When to Use

  • Preparing a new library or package release (npm, PyPI, Crates.io, Go modules).
  • Configuring automated release tools (semantic-release, changesets, release-please).
  • Determining if a refactoring change introduced an accidental breaking change.

What to Analyze

  1. MAJOR Bump Triggers:
    • Renaming or removing exported functions/types/constants.
    • Changing argument order or making optional parameters required.
    • Bumping minimum runtime engine requirements (e.g. Node 16 $ ightarrow$ 20).
  2. MINOR Bump Triggers:
    • Adding new backwards-compatible exported functions, options, or endpoints.
    • Deprecating an existing feature without removing it.
  3. PATCH Bump Triggers:
    • Backwards-compatible bug fixes and internal performance refactors.
    • Documentation and non-functional dependency updates.

Output Format

  • Recommended Version: e.g., 1.4.2 $ ightarrow$ 2.0.0 (MAJOR).
  • SemVer Justification: Point-by-point commit analysis mapping changes to SemVer rules.
  • Breaking Change Migration Guide: If MAJOR, clear instructions for consumers to upgrade.

Avoid

  • Bumping MINOR or PATCH when an exported interface signature was altered.
  • Releasing breaking changes under a PATCH release.
Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
