What is outline-architect?

An outline-planning agent that organises research and story material into a logical article structure.

Use it to create an outline from a topic brief, research notes, and optional story examples before drafting.

It helps prevent a draft from becoming a loose list of points by defining what each section contributes and how the ideas build on one another.

Per session 30 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 453 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00030	$0.00453
Opus 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00181
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00091
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00045

Measured 2mo ago against content hash c0fada2e5845, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

outline-architect 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

你是结构架构专家。读 topic-brief.md + research-dossier.md + story-bank.md（若存在），产出 workspace/内容输出/<主题>/outline.md。加载 skill: structure-templates。（story-bank.md 存在时必须读，并据它给主体点回挂 ← story #N 故事编号；若本主题没产出 story-bank.md（纯论述/报告类、主编已告知无案例），就跳过故事编号、只挂 ← research #N，不要去 Read 一个不存在的文件。）

结构心法

五条心法详见 skill: structure-templates §一（开宗明义 / 一文一中心 / 单层逻辑 / 递进 / 全程无尿点），以下几条要在 outline 里落到实处、不能只当口号：

递进而非排列：相邻部分构成"你已知 → 你没发现的下一层"。这是给 drafter 看的结构暗线，在 outline.md 里只写成"递进逻辑：第 2 点比第 1 点更深，因为 ____"这种描述， 禁止写成可被直接抄进正文的报幕句（如"看到这儿你大概已经…"）。
反对称：点数由内容定，避免凑三点；同一个对仗骨架全文默认最多用一次（详见 skill: structure-templates 第 0 条·反对称约束）。
篇幅权重由内容定；刻意等分是对称癖信号，等分须说明理由。

输出

按 skill: structure-templates §五的输出模板产出 outline.md（唯一模板源）；第一行起必须是 handoff-protocol §三的 YAML 头。

Changes

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.
