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-debrief 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Notes Catch-Up

Summarise what's changed in a supported tool since the user last ran this skill against it. No walkthroughs, no exercises. Focused digest of the delta.

Supported Tools

Each tool has a profile in resources/tools/<tool>.md (source URLs, buckets, gotchas) and an output file in resources/outputs/<tool>.md (last-seen version and summary history). Resolve both paths relative to this SKILL.md, not the user's current working directory.

Tool Aliases the user may type Profile Output
Claude Code claude-code, claudecode, cc resources/tools/claude-code.md resources/outputs/claude-code.md
OpenCode opencode, open-code resources/tools/opencode.md resources/outputs/opencode.md
llama-swap llama-swap, llamaswap resources/tools/llama-swap.md resources/outputs/llama-swap.md
llama.cpp llama-cpp, llama.cpp, llamacpp resources/tools/llama-cpp.md resources/outputs/llama-cpp.md

Tool selection: match the tool from the user's prompt against the aliases above. If the user names something not in this table, reply with the supported list and stop.

Flow

  1. Load the tool profile. Read resources/tools/<tool>.md. It tells you where to fetch the changelog, how the version scheme works, which buckets to group under, what to drop, and what to watch out for. Treat the profile as authoritative for that tool.

  2. Read state. Load the tool's output file. Parse last_seen_version from the frontmatter. If the file is missing, empty, or has no frontmatter version, treat as a first run: summarise the last 3 releases per the profile's version scheme, without prompting.

  3. Fetch the current changelog. Use WebFetch or ctx_fetch_and_index against the profile's Primary source. Pull Supporting sources only when you need context for an entry (config schema comparison, API doc linking, editorial summary for colour). When the profile lists Conditional sources, test each condition against the delta once you have it and fetch the ones that hold - those carry buckets of their own.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
