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

release 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.

Release

Create a release branch from dev with version bumps and a structured changelog PR.

Arguments

The skill accepts an optional version argument (e.g., /release 17.1.2).

If no version is provided, read the current version from package.json and suggest the next patch version (increment the last number). Confirm with the user before proceeding.

Instructions

1. Pre-flight checks

Before anything else, verify the workspace is ready:

git fetch origin
git status          # must be clean — warn and stop if uncommitted changes
git checkout dev
git pull

Check that dev is not behind main:

git log dev..origin/main --oneline

If main has commits not in dev, warn the user — they may need to merge main into dev first.

2. Determine the version

  • If a version argument is provided, use it
  • Otherwise, read package.json version, increment the patch number, and confirm with the user

3. Create the release branch

git checkout -b release/<version>

Branch naming convention: release/X.Y.Z (e.g., release/17.1.2)

4. Update version in these files

All files must be updated — the old version appears in each:

  1. package.json — the "version" field (line 3)
  2. server.json — TWO version fields, both must match:
    • Top-level "version" (around line 9)
    • Inside packages[0].version (around line 14)
  3. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (if it exists) — THREE version fields:
    • metadata.version
    • plugins[0].version
    • plugins[1].version (if present)
  4. package-lock.json — run npm install --package-lock-only to sync automatically

5. Build and verify

Run npm run build to confirm the project compiles cleanly. If it fails, fix the issue before continuing.

6. Commit the version bump

Commit message:

Bump version to <version>

7. Generate the changelog

Use git log to find all commits on dev since the last release merged to main:

git log origin/main..dev --oneline

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.
