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-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 9d 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 Notes Generator

This skill transforms a plain-language sprint summary or product update file into polished, user-facing release notes for 4 communication channels — without git, CLI, or developer tooling. Designed for non-technical PMs, product owners, and team leads who write sprint results in plain text and need to distribute them across multiple channels.

Input:

  • One local file (.md or .txt) with sprint results or product update notes
  • Optional: product name, version / sprint number, audience type (users | customers | internal)

Output:

  • Changelog entry — markdown-formatted, ready to paste into CHANGELOG.md
  • Email announcement — subject line + body (2–4 paragraphs)
  • In-app / push notification — 1–2 sentences, max 160 characters
  • Social post — LinkedIn / X version, conversational tone

Language Detection

Detect the language of the input file:

  • If the file content is in Russian: generate all 4 output formats in Russian
  • If the file content is in English: generate all 4 formats in English
  • If mixed-language content: default to English; add note "Mixed-language input detected — generated in English. Say 'по-русски' to switch."
  • If the user's trigger phrase is in Russian but the file is in English: use English for outputs (follow the file)

Instructions

Step 1: Find and Read the Input File

  1. Look for the file the user mentioned by name
    • If no filename given: scan the Cowork workspace for .md and .txt files; if exactly one such file exists, use it; if multiple exist, list them and ask which one to use
  2. Read the file
  3. Validate:
    • If no file found: stop — "No input file found. Please place your sprint summary or product update notes (.md or .txt) in the Cowork workspace and try again."
    • If the file is empty or contains fewer than 3 meaningful lines: stop — "The file is too short to generate release notes from. Add at least a few bullet points describing what was released."
    • If file is .docx or .pdf: stop — "release-notes-generator works with .md and .txt files. Please export your document to text format and try again."

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.
