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-rules 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 12d 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.

Changelog Rules

The changelog is kept in CHANGELOG.md at the project root. The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and projects using these conventions adhere to Semantic Versioning.

File Structure

# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

Changelog-Worthiness

Not every change belongs in a changelog. Changelogs are for humans, not machines.

Skip changes that are purely internal:

  • Refactoring with no user-facing impact
  • Code formatting, linting, whitespace
  • Test additions or modifications (unless they indicate a fixed bug)
  • CI/CD configuration
  • Developer tooling (linters, editor config)
  • Documentation updates (README, comments, docstrings)
  • Dependency bumps with no behavior change

Include changes that affect users:

  • New features or capabilities
  • Changes to existing behavior
  • Deprecated or removed functionality
  • Bug fixes
  • Security patches

Entry Format

  • Imperative present tense without trailing periods (e.g., "Add dark mode support")
  • One bullet point per distinct change
  • Concise but complete. Include enough context that users understand the impact.

User-Centric Writing

Entries describe what changed for the user. Focus on outcomes and impact.

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.
