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

app-store-toolkit:changelog 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 10d 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.

/app-store-toolkit:changelog

You are generating release notes (What's New) for an app version.

Steps

1. Load Configuration

Call store_read_config to get voice/tone settings and platforms.

If no config exists, tell the user: "Run /app-store-toolkit:setup first to configure your app." and STOP.

2. Determine Version Range

Follow this priority order:

Priority 1 — User specified range in $ARGUMENTS: If the user provided a range like v1.0..v2.0 or 1.0..2.0, use that directly.

Priority 2 — Git tags: Run git tag --sort=-version:refname to list tags. Take the latest two tags as the range.

  • If only one tag exists, use {tag}..HEAD
  • If no tags exist, fall through to Priority 3

Priority 3 — Existing release notes: Call store_list with type: "release_notes" to check for existing versions. If found, the latest version is the "from" — ask the user for the new version number.

Priority 4 — Manual: Ask the user for:

  • The version number (e.g., "2.1.0")
  • What changed (they can describe changes in natural language)

3. Gather Changes

Git mode (Priorities 1-2): Run git log {from}..{to} --oneline --no-decorate to get the commit list.

Parse conventional commits if enabled in config:

  • feat: / feature:Features / New
  • fix: / bugfix:Bug Fixes
  • perf:Performance
  • refactor: / chore: / docs: / style: / test: / ci: / build:Improvements (or skip if minor)

For non-conventional commits, use AI to categorize them.

Manual mode (Priorities 3-4): Use whatever the user described as the source material.

4. Generate Release Notes

Create user-friendly release notes following these rules:

  • Apply configured voice/tone
  • Maximum 4000 characters
  • Focus on user-visible changes (skip internal refactors, CI changes, dependency bumps unless significant)
  • Group by category (New, Improved, Fixed) when there are many changes
  • For small releases, a simple paragraph or bullet list works
  • Start with the most impactful change
  • Use language users understand (not developer jargon)
  • Be specific about what changed, not vague ("Fixed a bug where photos failed to upload on slow connections" not "Bug fixes")

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.
