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

jackin-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 3d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

jackin-release-notes

Classify every PR merged since the last release tag into a Keep a Changelog bucket, then write the [Unreleased] section of CHANGELOG.md. The bar is exhaustive — every merged PR accounted for, none dropped, none doubled.

When to use

  • Before a release, to populate the changelog.
  • When the operator asks to preview what the next release would contain.

When NOT to use

  • Cutting the release itself → jackin-release (it runs this skill as its notes step).

Process

  1. Find the boundary. LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0); if none, start from the initial commit (git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD). TAG_DATE=$(git log -1 --format=%aI "$LAST_TAG").

    Done when you hold the boundary commit and its date.

  2. Gather merged PRs. gh pr list --state merged --base main --search "merged:>$TAG_DATE" --json number,title,labels,mergedAt.

    Done when every PR merged after the tag is in the list.

  3. Classify each. Sort by Conventional Commits prefix and label:

    Prefix / label Bucket
    feat: / feature Added
    fix: / bug Fixed
    security: Security
    refactor:, chore:, docs:, ci:, build: Changed
    deprecate: Deprecated
    remove: Removed
    no match Changed (default)

    Strip the prefix from the title; capitalize the first word (feat: add TUI launcherAdd TUI launcher).

    Done when every PR sits in exactly one bucket.

  4. Catch ungrouped commits. git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges; for each, gh pr list --state merged --search "<sha>". Commits with no PR land under Ungrouped commits.

    Done when every non-merge commit since the tag is matched to a PR or listed.

  5. Write [Unreleased]. Keep a Changelog format: one section per non-empty bucket, each entry linking its PR ([#N](…/pull/N)). Replace the existing [Unreleased] block (between ## [Unreleased] and the next ## [) — ask before overwriting entries an operator already edited. Keep the <!-- next-header --> marker intact.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
