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 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/release

Cut a release as one consistent operation: changelog → version bump → tag → notes. A release done by hand drifts (forgotten changelog, wrong bump, missing tag); this skill makes the four steps agree.

When to use

When the user says "cut a release", "ship a version", "generate the changelog"; on /release; before announcing a version.

Commands

  • /release <major|minor|patch> — bump per semver and cut.
  • /release <version> — cut a specific version (e.g. /release 2.0.0).
  • /release --dry-run — print the changelog + tag without writing.

Step 1 — Detect the version scheme

  • Read the manifest (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, VERSION, git tags) to find the current version and the scheme (semver, calver, custom).
  • If no scheme is detectable, ask once which to use.

Step 2 — Generate the changelog

  • Collect commits since the last tag using Conventional Commits: feat → Features, fix → Fixes, perf → Performance, docs → Docs, refactor/chore → Maintenance (collapse if noisy).
  • Group by type; one line per commit, scope in parens.
  • Append an "Unreleased" → "" heading.

Step 3 — Bump + tag

  • Bump per the requested type or explicit version.
  • Update the manifest(s) in one commit: chore(release): vX.Y.Z.
  • Tag vX.Y.Z on that commit. Do not push unless the user asks.

Step 4 — Release notes

  • A short summary (1–3 lines) of what this release is about.
  • The grouped changelog from step 2.
  • Breaking changes (if any) called out at the top.

Output

  • CHANGELOG.md updated (or created).
  • Manifest version bumped.
  • Tag vX.Y.Z created (not pushed).
  • Release notes printed to chat.

Constraints

  • Follow rule/global/git-workflow: never push without explicit user ask; never rewrite history without permission.
  • Conventional Commits only; if the repo has non-conforming commits, list them and ask before guessing their type.
  • Do not include secrets or uncommitted files in the release commit.

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.
