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

changelog-writing 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 7d 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

Changelog Writing

Changelog Format

User-Facing

  • Lead with benefit: "You can now export to PDF" not "Added PDF export module."
  • Group: New, Improved, Fixed.
  • Skip internal changes users don't care about.
  • Link to docs for new features.

Developer-Facing

  • Follow Keep a Changelog format.
  • Group: Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security.
  • Reference issue/PR numbers.
  • Highlight breaking changes prominently.

Semantic Versioning Communication

  • Major (2.0): "Big update" — migration guide required.
  • Minor (1.5): "New features" — backwards compatible.
  • Patch (1.5.1): "Bug fixes" — no new features.

Anti-Patterns

  • "Various bug fixes and performance improvements" — be specific.
  • Technical jargon in user-facing notes.
  • No date on entries.
  • Changelog that's just git commit messages.
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.
