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-generator 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate-changelog.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Changelog Generator Skill

Quick Reference - Parse conventional commits and generate categorized changelog

Mission

Generate changelog from conventional commits with categorization (Features, Bug Fixes, Breaking Changes, Performance, Documentation) and formatted output for release notes.

Core Capabilities

  • Conventional Commit Parsing: Extract type, scope, description, breaking changes
  • Change Categorization: Group by type (feat, fix, perf, docs, refactor, test, chore)
  • Breaking Change Detection: Identify BREAKING CHANGE footer and ! syntax
  • Semantic Version Integration: Suggest version bump based on change types
  • Multi-Format Output: Markdown, JSON, plain text formats

Quick Start

const { ChangelogGenerator } = require('./scripts/generate-changelog.js');

const generator = new ChangelogGenerator({
  fromTag: 'v2.0.0',
  toTag: 'HEAD',
  format: 'markdown'
});

const changelog = await generator.generate();
console.log(changelog);

Conventional Commit Format

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Supported Types:

  • feat: New feature → Features section
  • fix: Bug fix → Bug Fixes section
  • perf: Performance improvement → Performance section
  • docs: Documentation → Documentation section
  • style: Code style (no logic change)
  • refactor: Code refactoring
  • test: Test additions/updates
  • chore: Build/tooling changes

Breaking Changes:

  • BREAKING CHANGE: footer → Breaking Changes section
  • ! after type/scope → Breaking Changes section

Category Priority

  1. Breaking Changes (highest impact)
  2. Features (new functionality)
  3. Bug Fixes (fixes)
  4. Performance (optimizations)
  5. Documentation (docs updates)

Example Output

## [2.1.0] - 2025-11-05

### Breaking Changes
- **auth**: Remove deprecated OAuth 1.0 support (c4f3b2a)

### Features
- **api**: Add rate limiting with Redis backend (a1b2c3d)
- **ui**: Implement dark mode toggle (e5f6g7h)

### Bug Fixes
- **database**: Fix connection pool exhaustion (i8j9k0l)
- **auth**: Resolve JWT token expiration edge case (m1n2o3p)

### Performance
- **api**: Optimize query performance with database indexes (q4r5s6t)

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

changelog-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository FortiumPartners/ensemble (12 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 861 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
