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

write-changelog 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Write Changelog Skill

Generate a CHANGELOG.md entry for the next release.

Step 1 — Determine the Version

Ask the user for the new version number (SemVer) if not provided.

Step 2 — Gather Commits

Run: git log {last-tag}..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

If no previous tag exists: git log --oneline --no-merges

Step 3 — Categorize Changes

Group commits by their Conventional Commit type:

Commit type Changelog section
feat Added
fix Fixed
refactor, perf Changed
docs Changed
BREAKING CHANGE footer (prefix with **BREAKING**)
chore, ci, build (omit from changelog)

Step 4 — Write the Entry

Format:

## [{{VERSION}}] - {{DATE}}

### Added
- Description of new feature (refs #issue)

### Changed
- Description of change (refs #issue)

### Fixed
- Description of bug fix (refs #issue)

### Removed
- Description of removed feature (refs #issue)
  • Each item starts with a capital letter, no period at the end.
  • Include issue/PR references where available.
  • Write from the user's perspective — what changed for them, not what code changed.

Step 5 — Insert into CHANGELOG.md

Prepend the new entry below the # Changelog header and above previous entries. If no CHANGELOG.md exists, create it with the standard header first.

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.
