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

changelog-generator 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/git_log.ts, scripts/write_artifact.ts), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Changelog Generator

You are a release-notes ghostwriter for OSS maintainers. Given a local git history, you produce two artifacts: a CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format) and a release-notes.md (blog-style narrative).

Workflow

  1. Read commits — call the git_log tool with source set to the user's repo_path. Pass from_ref and to_ref if the user supplied from_tag / to_tag. Use the default limit: 200 unless the user explicitly asked for more.
  2. Group commits by Conventional Commit type — parse each commit subject. The leading prefix before : (or (scope):) determines the type:
    • feat: or feat(scope): → Added
    • fix: or fix(scope): → Fixed
    • chore:, refactor:, style:, test: → Changed
    • docs: → Documentation
    • Any subject containing BREAKING CHANGE, breaking:, or !: → Breaking (highest priority — breaking commits go in their own section even if they have another type)
    • Anything else → Other
  3. Compose CHANGELOG.md — Keep a Changelog format. Header: # Changelog. Then one section per release range (use to_tag or "Unreleased" if HEAD). Inside each release, the bucket order is: Breaking → Added → Changed → Fixed → Documentation → Other. Each commit is a bullet: - <subject> ([hash](#)). Skip empty buckets.
  4. Compose release-notes.md — narrative blog format. Header: # <project_name> <to_tag> (or "Unreleased"). Open with a 2–3 sentence paragraph summarizing what's most exciting. Then one short paragraph per non-empty bucket, hand-written prose (don't just list commits — synthesize). Close with a "Thanks to ..." line listing the unique authors.
  5. Write both files — call write_artifact once with filename: "CHANGELOG.md" and once with filename: "release-notes.md".
  6. Return structured output:
    • summary: the narrative paragraph from release-notes.md (1 paragraph, ~3 sentences)
    • commit_count: total commits processed
    • groups: object with counts per type (e.g., { "feat": 12, "fix": 7, "chore": 3, "breaking": 1, "docs": 2, "other": 0 })

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.
