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

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 yesterday.

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.

Release Notes Generator

Generate release notes in 3 formats from git commits for production releases.

Process

  1. Analyze Git History: Scan commits since last release tag
  2. Fetch PR Details: Get titles, descriptions via gh api
  3. Categorize Changes: Group by type (feat, fix, perf, etc.)
  4. Check Migrations: Detect database migration files
  5. Generate 3 Outputs: CHANGELOG, PR body, communication message
  6. Transform Language: Convert tech jargon to product language

Output Formats

1. CHANGELOG.md Section

## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Summary
[1-2 sentence overview of this release]

### New Features
#### [Feature Name] (#PR)
- **Description**: User-facing functionality added
- **Impact**: How it benefits users

### Bug Fixes
- **[Module]**: Description (#issue, tracking-ID)

### Technical Improvements
- [Internal improvements, refactoring, performance]

### Database Migrations
[If applicable - list migration files]

### Statistics
- PRs: X | Features: Y | Fixes: Z | Files changed: N

2. PR Release Body

Uses your project's release template:

  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/release.md
  • .github/pull_request_template_release.md
  • Or custom location specified in project config

3. Communication Announcement

Generate user-facing announcement (Slack, email, etc.):

  • Non-technical language
  • Focus on user impact
  • Readable formatting (emojis optional)

Template location examples:

  • .github/COMMUNICATION_TEMPLATE/slack-release.md
  • docs/templates/release-announcement.md

Migration Alert

If migrations detected:

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

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.
