In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft changelogs or release summaries with links to the relevant pull requests.
Why use it?
It converts technical change lists into a short summary that users can understand, while grouping features, fixes, maintenance, and breaking changes.

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.

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.

What it actually says

Release Notes

Turn a list of merged pull requests into clean, categorized release notes.

Instructions

  1. Group the changes into Features, Fixes, and Maintenance.
  2. Write one bullet per change in the past tense, user-facing language.
  3. Omit internal refactors unless they change behavior.
  4. Put breaking changes first, under a bold "Breaking" heading.
  5. Keep it to one screen. Link each bullet to its pull request.
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.

release-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository getskillseal/skillseal (2 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 128 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
