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

mags-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 10d 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

MAGS Changelog

Generate a changelog from git history, optionally saving it to the project.

Steps

1. Gather git context

Run git log --oneline -30 via Bash to get the recent commit history. Note the latest tag if any (git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null).

2. Generate changelog

Call mags_generate_changelog to produce a structured changelog from the project state and git history.

3. Display output

Present the changelog with stats:

== Changelog ==

Generated from <N> commits since <last tag or "initial commit">

## [Unreleased]

### Added
- <feature description>
- <feature description>

### Changed
- <change description>

### Fixed
- <fix description>

### Removed
- <removal description>

---
Stats:  <N> features  |  <N> changes  |  <N> fixes  |  <N> removals

Use the Keep a Changelog format (Added, Changed, Fixed, Deprecated, Removed, Security). Omit empty sections.

4. Ask to save

Ask the user: "Save this changelog? Options:"

  • Append to docs/changelog/changes.md
  • Create release as docs/changelog/v<version>.md (ask for version number)
  • Skip and just display

If the user chooses to save:

  1. Check if the target file exists with mags_get_doc.
  2. If it exists, prepend the new entry at the top using mags_update_doc.
  3. If it does not exist, create it with mags_create_doc.
  4. Confirm: "Changelog saved to <path>."

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.
