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 7d 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 Generator Skill

Purpose

This skill provides systematic guidance for generating CHANGELOG entries that follow conventional commits format and semantic versioning principles, ensuring clear and consistent change history documentation.

When to Use

  • After feature implementation and documentation updates
  • Need to document changes for users and developers
  • Following conventional commits format
  • Determining semantic version increments
  • Creating release notes

CHANGELOG Generation Workflow

1. Analyze Changes

Objective: Understand what changed in this feature/fix.

Review commit history:

# View commits since last release/main
git log --oneline main..HEAD

# View detailed commits
git log main..HEAD

# View files changed
git diff --stat main..HEAD

# View actual changes
git diff main..HEAD

Identify change types:

  • New features added
  • Bug fixes implemented
  • Documentation updates
  • Performance improvements
  • Security enhancements
  • Breaking changes
  • Deprecations

Review issue and PR:

  • Read original issue description
  • Review acceptance criteria
  • Check PR description
  • Note any breaking changes
  • Identify security implications

Deliverable: Clear understanding of all changes


2. Determine Change Type

Objective: Classify the change according to conventional commits.

Conventional Commit Types:

Type Description Version Impact Use When
feat New feature MINOR (0.X.0) Adding new functionality
fix Bug fix PATCH (0.0.X) Fixing a bug
docs Documentation PATCH (0.0.X) Only docs changed
style Code style PATCH (0.0.X) Formatting, whitespace
refactor Code refactoring PATCH (0.0.X) Code restructure, no behavior change
perf Performance PATCH (0.0.X) Performance improvements
test Tests PATCH (0.0.X) Adding/updating tests
chore Maintenance PATCH (0.0.X) Build, deps, configs
BREAKING CHANGE Breaking change MAJOR (X.0.0) Incompatible API 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.
