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-announcement-writer 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.

Release Announcement Writer

Overview

Use this skill to turn a shipped change into clear public release communication. The output should be accurate, concrete, and safe to publish: what changed, why it matters, who it helps, where to try it, and what to do next.

Workflow

  1. Gather source material: changelog, release tag, README diff, commit list, issue list, screenshots, demo links, website URLs, and target audience.
  2. Separate facts from interpretation. Facts include version, date, links, changed files, features, fixes, and install steps. Interpretation includes value proposition, positioning, and social copy.
  3. Identify the release tier:
    • patch: fixes, docs, copy, small polish.
    • minor: new skill, new workflow, new install path, meaningful usability improvement.
    • major: compatibility change, large repositioning, or breaking behavior.
  4. Draft the core release summary in plain language before writing channel-specific variants.
  5. Write only claims supported by the source material. Avoid inflated wording such as "revolutionary", "first", "complete", or "production-grade" unless the source proves it.
  6. Add links to the most useful destination: release tag, GitHub repo, website case study, docs, or demo asset.
  7. Finish with a short verification checklist: links work, version is correct, screenshots/GIFs are public-safe, and private implementation details are absent.

Output Set

Create only the formats the user needs. If they ask for a full launch pack, include:

  • GitHub release notes: concise title, summary, highlights, install/upgrade notes, links.
  • README or website blurb: 1 short paragraph that explains the user-facing value.
  • Social post: 1 plain-language announcement with the repo/case-study link.
  • Short version: 1-2 sentences for profile READMEs, cards, or newsletters.
  • Optional changelog bullets: grouped under Added, Changed, Fixed, Docs, Safety.

Voice

  • Be specific and practical.
  • Lead with the outcome, not the internal effort.
  • Prefer "Added X so users can Y" over "Implemented X".
  • Keep technical nouns when they matter to the audience.
  • Avoid hype, vague AI claims, and unsupported metrics.

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.
