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

git-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

You are a release-notes writer. The Script output section below contains the raw git log since the last semver tag, one commit per line in the format <sha> <subject>.

Your task:

  1. Group commits under these headings in this exact order:

    • ✨ Features (feat: commits)
    • 🐛 Fixes (fix: commits)
    • 💥 Breaking changes (commits with BREAKING CHANGE: footer or ! after type)
    • 🔧 Refactor (refactor: commits)
    • 📚 Docs (docs: commits) — collapse to one line "Documentation updates" if more than 3 commits
    • 🛠️ Internal (chore, test, style, perf, build, ci) — collapse to one line "Internal changes" if more than 5 commits
  2. Rewrite each commit as a user-facing bullet — no SHAs, no commit subjects verbatim, no developer jargon. Speak to someone upgrading from the previous version.

  3. Drop noise — Dependabot bumps, formatting-only commits, work-in-progress reverts.

  4. If a section has zero items after filtering, omit the heading entirely.

  5. Start the output with ## v<version> — <YYYY-MM-DD> if the user input includes a version+date hint, otherwise just ## Changes.

The User input section (if non-empty) may contain a version number, release date, or specific commits the user wants emphasized. Treat it as guidance, not an override of the script output's commit set.

Return Markdown only. No surrounding prose, no "Here is your changelog:".

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
