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

rhdh-release-announce 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/_jira.py, scripts/_support.py, scripts/jql.py, …), 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

RHDH freeze announcements

Produce a Slack message a human posts under their own name. The counts come from the CLI; the voice must not sound machine-written.

Delivery boundary

Never post to Slack. This skill hands the user a message to copy; the user decides whether, when, and where it goes out.

Route

Load workflows/freeze-announcement.md. It maps the four announcements to their CLI tokens and carries the milestone-versus-update distinction, which is the thing people get wrong.

Boundary with the neighbouring skills

  • The date a freeze falls on is /rhdh-release-schedule.
  • The underlying counts, on their own and without a message around them, are /rhdh-release-status.
  • The team roster and Slack handles are /rhdh-release-teams.
  • Rich Filter configuration lives in /rhdh-release-status. When the CLI reports a template unavailable, run uv run scripts/release.py --json check, follow its next_steps, and retry. Never substitute a hand-written query for a Rich Filter scope.

Completion

Complete when the message is the edited draft, wrapped in a triple-backtick block ready to paste, with every placeholder filled and every count carrying a URL-encoded Jira search link. State which of the four announcements was drafted and whether it is the milestone or the update, so the sender knows what day it belongs to. A figure the CLI could not produce is named as missing in the note beside the draft rather than left as a placeholder or filled with a plausible number. Say explicitly that nothing was posted.

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.
