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-skills 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 8d 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.

Release Skills

Universal release workflow supporting any project type with multi-language changelog.

Quick Start

Just run /release-skills - auto-detects your project configuration.

Supported Projects

Project Type Version File Auto-Detected
Node.js package.json
Python pyproject.toml
Rust Cargo.toml
Claude Plugin marketplace.json
Generic VERSION / version.txt

Options

Flag Description
--dry-run Preview changes without executing
--major Force major version bump
--minor Force minor version bump
--patch Force patch version bump

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Project Configuration

  1. Check for .releaserc.yml (optional config override)
  2. Auto-detect version file by scanning (priority order):
    • package.json (Node.js)
    • pyproject.toml (Python)
    • Cargo.toml (Rust)
    • marketplace.json or .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (Claude Plugin)
    • VERSION or version.txt (Generic)
  3. Scan for changelog files using glob patterns:
    • CHANGELOG*.md
    • HISTORY*.md
    • CHANGES*.md
  4. Identify language of each changelog by filename suffix
  5. Display detected configuration

Language Detection Rules:

Changelog files follow the pattern CHANGELOG_{LANG}.md or CHANGELOG.{lang}.md, where {lang} / {LANG} is a language or region code.

Pattern Example Language
No suffix CHANGELOG.md en (default)
_{LANG} (uppercase) CHANGELOG_CN.md, CHANGELOG_JP.md Corresponding language
.{lang} (lowercase) CHANGELOG.zh.md, CHANGELOG.ja.md Corresponding language
.{lang-region} CHANGELOG.zh-CN.md Corresponding region variant

Common language codes: zh (Chinese), ja (Japanese), ko (Korean), de (German), fr (French), es (Spanish).

Output Example:

Project detected:
  Version file: package.json (1.2.3)
  Changelogs:
    - CHANGELOG.md (en)
    - CHANGELOG.zh.md (zh)
    - CHANGELOG.ja.md (ja)

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.
