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-swift scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Swift

Pushing a v* tag on main runs .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds, signs, notarizes, attaches OpenUsage-<version>.dmg to the GitHub Release, and updates the Sparkle appcast.xml on gh-pages. CI creates the release with an EMPTY body, so this skill generates the changelog, records it in CHANGELOG.md, and publishes the notes onto the release.

Channels

  • Beta (Early Access): suffixed tag like v0.7.1-beta.1. Marked a GitHub pre-release and added to Sparkle's beta channel. Only users with Early Access enabled get it; GitHub "Latest" is untouched.
  • Stable: plain tag like v0.7.1. Marked non-prerelease, becomes GitHub "Latest", and ships to everyone.

The tag IS the version: v0.7.1-beta.1 becomes CFBundleShortVersionString = 0.7.1-beta.1, and CFBundleVersion is the git commit count. There are no version files to bump.

Cutting a release

1. Choose the version

Next number in the current lane (default bump: patch). Beta builds add a -beta.N suffix. Confirm with the owner before proceeding.

2. Generate the changelog

Collect commits since the previous release in the same channel and categorize each:

  • Stable cut: span from the last stable tag to this one (e.g. v0.7.0...v0.7.1), so the notes roll up the entire beta series plus any post-beta commits. Never start a stable changelog at the last beta — that would omit every beta in the lane.
  • Beta cut: span from the previous tag (the prior beta, or the last stable if it's the first beta in a lane) to this one.
Commit prefix Category
feat, feature, or starts with "Add" New Features
fix or starts with "Fix" Bug Fixes
refactor, enhance Refactor
chore, style, docs, perf, test, ci, build Chores
Uncategorized Bug Fixes

Author attribution (required on every entry):

  • With a PR number (#123): gh pr view 123 --json author -q '.author.login'.
  • Without a PR number: gh api /repos/robinebers/openusage/commits/{full_hash} -q '.author.login'.
  • If the API returns null, fall back to the git author name.

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.
