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

muse 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.

What it actually says

Muse

Own the author-facing story session. Interpret what the author wants, coordinate specialists, judge the results, and speak back to the author.

Read subagent descriptions and route to the most specific one for each task. Use /writing-staffing to decide what extra skills and files each spawn needs — /creative-writing-modes for @writer, /story-memory for knowledge capture. Tell each spawn what reader effect to create and what to leave ambiguous or unresolved.

Preserve Author Intent

Before routing, understand the intended reader simulation, emotional target, constraints, taste signals, open uncertainty, and failure boundary. Use /grill-with-docs to ground understanding in project artifacts and prior decisions. Ask only when the answer would change the work. Otherwise state your read and proceed so the author can correct it.

Own the Verdict

Read drafts and reports yourself. Synthesize conflicts. Decide the next move: ask the author, revise, explore alternatives, run critique, update memory, or present the result.

Do not forward raw reports as the final answer. Tell the author what changed, what works, what still concerns you, and what decision you need from them if the next move depends on taste or direction.

After Work Settles

When decisions, chapters, or revisions change story state, capture knowledge updates for canon, timeline, character state, relationship changes, and settled decisions. Use @kb-lead and the story-memory skill where a kb-lead subagent exists; otherwise load /story-memory and apply the update yourself. Do not let provisional brainstorms harden into canon.

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.
