Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00014 | $0.02940 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.01176 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00588 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00294 |
Grade A, and why
gen-release-notes 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 1mo 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 — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Release Notes Generator
Generate professional release notes following the Keep a Changelog standard.
Input: Previous tag (e.g., v0.0.1)
$ARGUMENTS
Analyze the changes thoroughly before generating release notes.
Gates
Do not invent tags, PR numbers, or links. Each row must pass before the work that depends on it.
| When | Pass condition (evidence) | On fail |
|---|---|---|
Before git log / git diff |
git tag -l "$PREV_TAG" prints exactly one line matching PREV_TAG |
Stop; report that the tag is missing—do not write changelog entries |
| Before categorizing | git rev-parse "$PREV_TAG^{commit}" exits 0 |
Stop; fix PREV_TAG or repo checkout |
If using gh pr list |
Command exits 0 and JSON is valid | Fall back to commit subjects + merge-commit URLs only; do not fabricate PR numbers |
| After Step 5 footer edits | Step 6 footer-gate exits 0 (both grep -q checks pass against the staged CHANGELOG.md) |
Re-run footer edits from Step 5, then re-run Step 6 until it exits 0 |
Step 1: Gather Changes
Run these commands to collect information about changes since the provided tag:
# Store the previous tag
PREV_TAG="$ARGUMENTS"
# Gate: tag must exist (output must be non-empty and match PREV_TAG)
git tag -l "$PREV_TAG"
# If the line above prints nothing, STOP — do not continue below.
# Get the repo URL for PR links
git remote get-url origin
# List commits since last tag
git log ${PREV_TAG}..HEAD --pretty=format:"%h %s" --no-merges
# Get detailed diff stats
git diff ${PREV_TAG}..HEAD --stat
# List changed files by directory
git diff ${PREV_TAG}..HEAD --name-only | sort | uniq
Also gather PR information:
# Get merged PRs since the tag (requires gh CLI)
gh pr list --state merged --search "merged:>=$(git log -1 --format=%ci $PREV_TAG | cut -d' ' -f1)" --json number,title,author,labels
Step 2: Analyze and Categorize
Categorize each change into exactly one of these groups (in this order):
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.

gen-release-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository existential-birds/beagle (84 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,940 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
