About the project

DART is an open-source C++23 physics engine that simulates the movement and interactions of articulated rigid-body systems for robotics, animation, and machine learning. Researchers and developers use it for kinematics, dynamics, collision handling, constraints, and loading robot models, with C++ and Python interfaces. The catalogue add-ons support workflows built around this engine.

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

dart-changelog 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 — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dart-changelog

Use this skill to run the DART dart-changelog workflow. The editable workflow source lives in .claude/commands/; this generated skill is its entrypoint for Codex and Muse.

Invocation

  • Claude Code: /dart-changelog <arguments>
  • Codex: $dart-changelog <arguments>
  • Muse: /dart-changelog <arguments>

Treat the text after the skill name, or the user's request when the skill is loaded on demand, as $ARGUMENTS. When the workflow references $1, $2, etc., map those to the positional values supplied by the user.

Command Body

Maintain DART changelog entries: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

dart-changelog is the reusable changelog decision and writing routine. It is usually invoked by other DART workflows when they reach a changelog decision, not directly by users.

Use it to:

  • decide whether a change needs a changelog entry;
  • draft an entry at the right level of detail;
  • add a PR link after publication;
  • audit pending fragments or a release section for missing or over-detailed entries; or
  • assemble main's fragments at a checkpoint.

On main, an entry is a changelog.d/ fragment and only checkpoint assembly adds entries to CHANGELOG.md; release-* branches edit CHANGELOG.md directly. Keep style, placement, evidence, and release-note density aligned with docs/onboarding/changelog.md.

Required Reading

@AGENTS.md @docs/onboarding/changelog.md @docs/onboarding/release-management.md @changelog.d/README.md

Modes

Interpret $ARGUMENTS as one of these modes when present:

  • decide: determine whether the current change needs a changelog entry and record the reason in author/task notes when no entry is needed.
  • draft: write or revise the entry before a PR number exists: a changelog.d/<topic>.md fragment on main, a CHANGELOG.md entry on a release-* branch.
  • finalize: add the PR link line to the fragment (or release-branch entry) or adjust the entry after a PR exists, keeping the follow-up local until explicit maintainer/user approval permits a push.
  • audit: scan pending changelog.d/ fragments, a CHANGELOG.md release section, or a PR set for missing, duplicate, over-detailed, misplaced, or stale entries.
  • release-audit: alias for audit when the caller is finalizing a release section as part of release packaging (see docs/onboarding/release-management.md).
  • assemble: at a checkpoint (each milestone exit, before a release candidate, tag, or release-branch cut from main, or when the maintainer asks), run pixi run changelog-assemble on a topic branch from fresh origin/main, then release-audit the assembled section. Its PR still needs explicit maintainer/user approval before it is opened.

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.
