About the project

Prisma ORM is a Node.js and TypeScript database toolkit that lets applications work with databases through a programming interface instead of writing every query directly in SQL. Developers use it with databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB, and CockroachDB. The catalogue add-ons provide agent rules, skills, hooks, agents, and other workflows for using Prisma.

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

draft-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 2d 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 — 305 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Draft release notes

This skill fires inside a release cut (stable or RC-line, both published under latest). The release-cutting agent runs it from the release/<version> worktree that publish-npm-version created, with the target version already known, and produces the committed notes file that is the GitHub Release body (the publish workflow ships it verbatim via gh release create --notes-file docs/releases/v<version>.md). There is no --generate-notes fallback — the file you author here is what every consumer reads.

The skill is prose-driven: there is no codemod or script to run. You — the agent — do the enumeration, the Linear-context lookup, the triage, and the writing directly, the same way record-upgrade-instructions walks you through authoring an upgrade entry rather than running one for you.

When to use

Run this skill when all of the following hold:

  • A release is being cut (stable or 8.0.0-rc.N) — the target version $NEXT is known (computed by publish-npm-version step 1, e.g. 8.0.0-rc.2).
  • You are in the release/<version> worktree checked out at the bump commit (HEAD carries the bumped root version).
  • docs/releases/v$NEXT.md does not exist yet (the PR-mode release-notes gate, pnpm check:release-notes --mode pr, fails the release PR until it does).

Do not run it for -dev.N or -beta.N builds: those create no GitHub Release and are not gated. Do not run it to backfill notes for an already-shipped release — the convention starts from the first release cut after it landed.

The two hard rules

These are project requirements, not style preferences. A draft that violates either is wrong even if everything else is perfect.

Rule 1 — Never copy Linear content verbatim

Linear is a summarization-context input only. You read a ticket to understand the user-facing outcome of an opaque PR title, then you write a fresh, public, user-facing sentence describing that outcome. You never paste ticket prose into the notes. Specifically, the following must never appear in docs/releases/*.md or CHANGELOG.md:

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.
