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-narrator 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.

Changelog Narrator

This skill compares two versions of a business document and produces a structured, human-readable changelog — without git, CLI, or "Track Changes". Designed for non-technical users who receive updated drafts and need to understand what changed at a glance.

Input:

  • Two local files (.md or .txt) in the Cowork workspace — old version (v1) and new version (v2)
  • Optional: version labels if filenames are ambiguous; optional focus area (e.g., "only compare Section 3")

Output:

  • Markdown changelog: Summary → Added → Removed → Modified → Notes

Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Instructions

Step 1: Identify and Validate Files

  1. Check that exactly two files are provided

    • If only one file is given: stop — "Two documents are required. Please provide both the old version (v1) and the new version (v2)."
    • If no files are given: scan the Cowork workspace for .md and .txt files; list them and ask the user to specify which two to compare
  2. Read both files

    • If a file is unreadable (binary, corrupted, unsupported format): stop — "Could not read [filename]. changelog-narrator works with .md and .txt files only."
  3. Determine version order (which is v1, which is v2)

    • Infer from filename markers: v1/v2, old/new, draft/final, date suffixes (earlier date = v1)
    • If version order is ambiguous (e.g., strategy-a.md vs strategy-b.md): ask — "Which file is the older version?" — do not guess

Step 2: Split Documents into Comparable Units

  1. Segment each document into logical units:
    • H1/H2/H3 headings → use as section labels
    • Paragraphs under each heading → compare as blocks
    • Numbered or bulleted list items → compare as individual items
    • Table rows → compare row by row

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.
