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

configure-release-please scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use another approach when...
Setting up release-please for a new project from scratch Manually editing CHANGELOG.md or version fields — use conventional commits instead
Auditing existing release-please configuration for compliance Creating a one-off release — use gh release create directly
Upgrading release-please-action to the latest version Debugging a failed release PR — check GitHub Actions logs directly
Ensuring the workflow uses a correct release token (GitHub App token, preferred; or MY_RELEASE_PLEASE_TOKEN) Managing npm/PyPI publishing — configure separate publish workflows
Adding a new package to a monorepo release-please configuration Writing conventional commit messages — use /git:commit skill

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.
