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

package-release 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Package Releases

Release notes are user documentation. CHANGELOG.md is their canonical source. Never invent a second narrative during publication.

Classify the request

  • Update the changelog — edit Unreleased only. Do not bump, tag, push, or publish.
  • Prepare a release — bump/align versions, roll the changelog, validate, and stop before irreversible actions.
  • Release / publish / ship — complete every applicable release output: package, package documentation, tag, GitHub Release, and public verification. Do not stop after publishing only one artifact.
  • Repair a release — derive missing or corrected metadata from the tagged changelog; do not generate replacement prose.
  • Deploy — this skill does not define application deployment. Clarify when “release” could mean an OTP/app deployment rather than a package version.

A direct request to release, publish, ship, or cut a version authorizes the complete workflow after a clean preflight. Ask only when the version or intent is ambiguous, repository state is unexpected, project instructions require confirmation, or authentication/2FA is needed.

Non-negotiable release-note contract

  • GitHub Release title is exactly the tag, normally vX.Y.Z.
  • GitHub Release body is exactly the body of the matching CHANGELOG.md version section, excluding the level-two version heading.
  • Do not add an opening summary, closing sentence, generated prose, commit list, contributor list, checksum, or publication status.
  • Do not add Install/Installation sections or dependency snippets.
  • Do not append Hex, HexDocs, npm, crates.io, changelog, compare, marketing, or “full changelog” links.
  • Never use generated GitHub notes (--generate-notes).
  • Never embellish terse changelog notes.
  • Always pass multiline notes through a file with --notes-file; never inline Markdown in --notes or a shell string.
  • Never use regex, awk, or sed to determine Markdown section boundaries. Read the Markdown structure directly or use the repository’s canonical parser/extractor.
  • Preserve directly relevant issue, pull-request, migration, or security links already present in the canonical changelog. Do not add links during release publication.

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.
