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-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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Changelog Generator

Generate a Keep a Changelog-formatted CHANGELOG.md from git history.

When to Use

  • Preparing a release and need release notes
  • User mentions "changelog", "release notes"
  • Project follows Conventional Commits

When NOT to Use

  • First commit of a project (no history yet)
  • Non-Conventional Commits repos (output will be poorly categorized)

Workflow

  1. Determine the version range: ask user for from and to tags/commits
  2. Run git log <from>..<to> --oneline to get commits in range
  3. Categorize commits by Conventional Commit type:
    • feat → Added
    • fix → Fixed
    • perf → Changed (performance)
    • refactor → Changed
    • docs → (skip for changelog, user-facing only)
    • BREAKING CHANGE → Changed (breaking)
  4. Group by category, format as bullet list
  5. Prepend to existing CHANGELOG.md or create new one
  6. Add version header with date

Output Format

# Changelog

## [1.2.0] - 2026-05-29

### Added
- JWT refresh token rotation (#234)
- Rate limiting on login endpoint (#235)

### Fixed
- Race condition in order status update (#231)
- Memory leak in WebSocket connection handler (#228)

### Changed
- **Breaking:** Refresh token response format updated
- Improved database connection pool management

Key Principles

  • Follow Keep a Changelog format
  • Human-readable descriptions, not raw commit messages
  • Group by impact: Added → Fixed → Changed → Deprecated → Removed → Security
  • Link to issue/PR numbers when available
  • Breaking changes MUST be clearly marked

Notes

  • Skip chore/test/docs commits (not user-facing)
  • If no tag exists, use the first and last commit of the range
  • Confirm version number and date before writing

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.
