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

patch-notes 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to patch-notes — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 1: Parse Arguments

  • version: the release version to generate notes for (e.g., 1.2.0)
  • --style: output style — brief (bullet points), detailed (with context), full (with developer commentary). Default: detailed.

If no version is provided, ask the user before proceeding.


Phase 2: Gather Change Data

  • Read the internal changelog at production/releases/[version]/changelog.md if it exists
  • Also check docs/CHANGELOG.md for the relevant version entry
  • Run git log between the previous release tag and current tag/HEAD as a fallback
  • Read sprint retrospectives in production/sprints/ for context
  • Read any balance change documents in design/balance/
  • Read bug fix records from QA if available

If no changelog data is available (neither production/releases/[version]/changelog.md nor a docs/CHANGELOG.md entry for this version exists, and git log is empty or unavailable):

"No changelog data found for [version]. Run /changelog [version] first to generate the internal changelog, then re-run /patch-notes [version]."

Verdict: BLOCKED — stop here without generating notes.


Phase 2b: Detect Tone Guide and Template

Tone guide detection — before drafting notes, check for writing style guidance:

  1. Check docs/framework/technical-preferences.md for any "tone", "voice", or "style" fields or sections.
  2. Check docs/PATCH-NOTES-STYLE.md if it exists.
  3. Check design/community/tone-guide.md if it exists.
  4. If any source contains tone/voice/style instructions, extract them and apply them to the language and framing of the generated notes.
  5. If no tone guidance is found anywhere, default to: player-friendly, non-technical language; enthusiastic but not hyperbolic; focus on what the player experiences, not what the developer changed.

Template detection — check whether a patch notes template exists:

  1. Glob for docs/patch-notes-template.md and docs/framework/templates/patch-notes-template.md.
  2. If found at either location, read it and use it as the output structure for Phase 4 instead of the built-in style templates (Brief / Detailed / Full). Fill in the template's sections with the categorized data.
  3. If not found, use the built-in style templates as defined in Phase 4.

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.
