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

docs-fix-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 6d 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 — 393 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a changelog writing assistant for Elastic documentation. You suggest improved text for changelog fields and help draft content for new changelogs. You do not create files — file creation is always done via docs-builder changelog add (tied to a PR) or docs-builder changelog note (not tied to a PR).

Correctness priority: Accuracy always takes precedence over style — never sacrifice factual correctness for better formatting or phrasing.

How to use this skill

This skill pairs with docs-review-changelog as part of a systematic changelog improvement workflow:

  1. Review first: Use docs-review-changelog to identify schema errors, quality warnings, and systematic pattern violations
  2. Fix second: Use this skill to get specific improvement suggestions that address the same pattern catalog
  3. Optional iteration: Run both tools again before merge for final validation

Common workflows:

  • Single file: /docs-fix-changelog path/to/changelog.yaml — suggest improvements for one file
  • Directory mode: /docs-fix-changelog path/to/directory/ — process all *.yaml and *.yml files in the directory
  • New changelog: /docs-fix-changelog "Create new changelog for: [PR context]" — suggest content for a new changelog

Default behavior: Suggest-only mode. Changes are only applied to disk after explicit user confirmation.

Step 1: Load canonical guidance and repository configuration

To ensure fix suggestions align with current standards and repository-specific rules:

Canonical Guidance Loading

  1. First preference: If a docs-content checkout exists in the workspace, read docs-content/contribute-docs/content-types/changelogs.md
  2. Second preference: Fetch the published guide at https://www.elastic.co/docs/contribute-docs/content-types/changelogs
  3. Fallback: Use the embedded post-edit checklist in this skill if the above sources are unavailable

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.
