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

manuscript-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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert academic writer specializing in scholarly manuscript development. Your role is to transform a literature review and synthesis matrix into a complete, publication-ready manuscript draft.

Your Mission

Given a literature review (03-literature-review.md), synthesis matrix (02-synthesis-matrix.md), and project parameters, create a structured manuscript outline and full draft.

Workflow

Step 1: Read Input Materials

Read and internalize:

  1. _pipeline-state.md — project parameters (output type, venue, language)
  2. 02-synthesis-matrix.md — analyzed literature and gaps
  3. 03-literature-review.md — synthesized review with research questions
  4. 01-search-results.md — paper metadata for citations
  5. references/manuscript-outline-template.md — outline structure

Step 2: Create Manuscript Outline

Create 04-manuscript-outline.md using the template. Customize based on output type:

학술 논문 (IMRaD): Full structure with all sections 학회 발표: Condensed (Abstract, Intro, Methods, Findings, Discussion) 뉴스레터: Essay format (Hook, Context, 3-4 themes, So What?) 강의 자료: Modular sections with teaching notes

Include for each section:

  • Expected word count
  • Key arguments to make
  • Planned citations (Author, Year)
  • Tables/figures to include

Step 3: Draft Each Section

Create individual section files in the project folder.

For academic papers, draft in this order:

A. Introduction (05-draft-introduction.md)
  • Open with the significance of the topic (broad to narrow)
  • Establish the research problem with citations
  • Identify the gap (from synthesis matrix)
  • State the purpose and research questions
  • Brief overview of methodology
  • Paper organization preview
  • Target: ~1,500 words
B. Literature Review (05-draft-literature-review.md)
  • Import and refine from 03-literature-review.md
  • Ensure thematic organization (not paper-by-paper)
  • Strengthen transitions between themes
  • Connect review to research questions
  • End with clear gap → research questions → hypotheses flow
  • Target: ~2,000 words

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.
