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

announcement 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 9d 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 — 202 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to use

Trigger this skill when:

  • A product launch, feature GA, or deprecation needs an announcement.
  • A milestone has been reached (customer count, revenue, hiring, anniversary) and leadership wants to share it.
  • A policy change (holiday closure, new tool rollout, process update) needs to be communicated to employees.
  • A customer-facing change (pricing, TOS, service window) requires a heads-up.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Incident updates — use incident-report or engineering:incident-response.
  • Routine status updates — use status-update.
  • Marketing campaigns with external budget and funnel implications — those require the marketing team.

Inputs

Required:

  • Announcement type — one of: launch, milestone, policy-change.
  • Topic / subject — what is being announced.
  • Audienceemployees, customers, partners, or public.
  • Toneformal or casual. (Default: casual for employees, formal for customers/partners/public unless overridden.)

Optional:

  • Effective date (for policy changes and launches).
  • Channel — Slack, email, blog, changelog entry — affects length and formatting.
  • Signer — the person or team the announcement is from.
  • Supporting links — documentation, FAQ, demo video, blog post.
  • Prior related announcements — for continuity.

Outputs

A single Markdown draft. Structure depends on announcement type:

Launch:

  1. Hook (one sentence that names the thing and the outcome).
  2. What changed (concrete, specific).
  3. Why it matters (user or business benefit).
  4. Call to action (try it, read more, opt in).

Milestone:

  1. Specific number or achievement.
  2. Short story (what got us here).
  3. Thanks (to people, teams, or customers who made it possible).
  4. Call to action (optional — celebrate, share, keep going).

Policy change:

  1. What is changing.
  2. When (effective date).
  3. Why (the reason, honestly stated).
  4. Impact (what each audience needs to do).
  5. FAQ (3–5 anticipated questions).

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.
