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 12d 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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

changelog-generator

Transform technical git commits into polished, user-friendly changelogs.

When to Use

  • Preparing release notes for a new version
  • Creating weekly/monthly product updates
  • Writing changelog entries for app stores
  • Generating internal release documentation
  • Maintaining a public changelog page

How It Works

  1. Scan Git History: Analyze commits from time period or between versions
  2. Categorize Changes: Group into features, fixes, improvements
  3. Translate: Convert developer commits into user-friendly language
  4. Format: Create clean, structured changelog entries
  5. Filter Noise: Exclude internal commits (refactoring, tests, etc.)

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.
