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-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 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.

Release Notes

Overview

Release notes are your product's public diary. Well-written notes inform users, build trust, and highlight the value of what you shipped. This skill covers writing for different audiences: end users, enterprise buyers, and internal teams.

When to Use

  • You're shipping a new version of your product
  • You want to communicate changes to users
  • You need enterprise-grade release notes for compliance
  • Don't use for: internal build descriptions (use commit messages), marketing announcements (use blog posts)

Instructions

1. Segment Your Audience

End Users (in-app or email):

  • Focus on what's NEW and what's BETTER
  • Use benefit-oriented language ("Now you can...")
  • Screenshots and GIFs > text
  • Friendly, conversational tone

Enterprise / Admin (admin dashboard):

  • Include all changes (even minor ones)
  • Add upgrade, migration, or configuration notes
  • Document API changes, deprecations
  • Professional, informative tone

Internal / Engineering (Slack, mailing list):

  • Include technical details, gotchas
  • Migration instructions, config changes
  • Known issues and workarounds
  • Honest, direct tone

2. Structure Each Entry

## [Version Number] - [Date]

### 🚀 New Features
- [Headline what's new] — [1-2 sentences on value]

### 🔧 Improvements
- [What changed and why it's better]

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- [Problem] — [Fix] — [Effect]

### ⚠️ Known Issues
- [Issue] — [Workaround]

### 📦 Technical Notes (enterprise only)
- [Upgrade notes, config changes, API changes]

3. Writing Guidelines

  • Start with the most important change — Users scan, they don't read
  • Use active voice — "You can now..." not "An option to... has been added"
  • Specify who benefits — "Team admins can now..." not "Improved admin panel"
  • Link to docs — For complicated features, link to full documentation
  • Acknowledge contributions — Thank beta testers, early adopters, or contributors

Sample Output

## v2.4.0 - June 4, 2026

### 🚀 New Features
- **Async team updates** — Share status updates without scheduling a meeting. Team members can post text, links, and screenshots that compile into a daily digest.
- **AI status summaries** — One-click summary of the week's updates (Enterprise feature)

### 🔧 Improvements
- **Faster search** — Results now load 3x faster with indexed search
- **Simplified onboarding** — New users can invite their team in 2 clicks instead of 5

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Calendar sync showing incorrect timezone on Safari
- Fixed: Notification preferences not saving for team members with dots in email

### ⚠️ Known Issues
- Team dashboard may appear empty for accounts with 50+ projects. Refresh to reload.

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.
