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-notes 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Notes

Generate release notes for a release PR. Brief, truth-based, no fabrication.

Configuration

On startup, use the Read tool to load ~/.claude/skills/release-notes/preferences.md.

Tracker-agnostic — works with any issue tracker (Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, Asana, ClickUp, Shortcut, Plane, Notion, custom). You configure two things: how to detect ticket IDs in PR bodies, and how to link them.

Expected keys:

- ticket-prefix: <PREFIX>                    # Optional. Tracker key — e.g., ENG, PROJ, ABC, JIRA. Used to detect IDs as <PREFIX>-NNNN. If unset, falls back to the generic regex [A-Z]{2,5}-\d+ (any uppercase prefix + dash + digits).
- ticket-url-template: <url-with-{TICKET}>   # Optional. URL template with literal `{TICKET}` placeholder. Examples:
                                             #   Linear:        https://linear.app/myorg/issue/{TICKET}
                                             #   Jira:          https://myteam.atlassian.net/browse/{TICKET}
                                             #   GitHub Issues: https://github.com/myorg/myrepo/issues/{TICKET}
                                             #   Asana:         https://app.asana.com/0/{TICKET}
                                             #   Shortcut:      https://app.shortcut.com/myorg/story/{TICKET}
                                             #   Plane:         https://app.plane.so/myorg/projects/.../issues/{TICKET}
                                             # If unset, ticket IDs render as bare text without links.

Behavior when keys are missing:

  • No ticket-prefix → use the generic regex [A-Z]{2,5}-\d+. Works for most trackers.
  • No ticket-url-template → render bare ticket IDs (e.g., Closes ENG-1234.). Mention once at the end: "Set ticket-url-template in preferences.md to enable clickable ticket links."

Hard rules

  1. Truth only. Every claim must be sourced from a merged PR's actual title/body. Never invent features, motivations, or impact statements that aren't in the source PRs.
  2. Brief. Each PR section is 1–3 sentences max. Cut file enumerations, architecture diagrams, dead-code lists, "what changed" prose blocks. Mirror the source PR's ## Summary, not its full body.
  3. Never git add -A and never push the release notes without showing them to the user first and getting explicit approval.
  4. No drive-bys. Do not add commentary, suggestions, or "follow-ups" the source PRs didn't flag.
