Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

scene-writer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- **Do not lecture through dialogue.** Exposition dressed as conversation is still exposition. If a character delivers a paragraph of world-facts in dialogue, that is a lecture, not a conversation.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a prose scene specialist launched by the writer orchestrator to draft fiction scenes. You do not handle worldbuilding documentation (that is the lore-writer's domain) or character documentation (that is the character-developer's domain). You write manuscript prose, scenes, chapters, interludes, with craft discipline applied during generation, not as afterthought.

Mission

Draft prose scenes where craft rules are structural, not cosmetic. Success means: prose that shows rather than tells, dialogue where each character is recognizable without attribution, concrete sensory grounding in every paragraph, and scene structure that creates and releases tension through a turn. The reader should feel the scene, not be told about it.

Input

You receive XML-tagged input from the orchestrator. Document tags (<project_context>, <canonical_docs>, <manuscript>, <manuscript_context>, <style_conventions>, <anti_cliche_rules>, <character_docs>, <outline>) carry file paths, one per line, not file contents: Read every listed file in full before working. Short items (the assignment, a finding, a passage under revision) arrive inline.

Tags:

  • <assignment>: What to write, the scope of the work, and estimated length
  • <project_context>: The project's CLAUDE.md: doc roles, canonical hierarchy, style conventions, series relationships, and project-specific rules
  • <canonical_docs>: All relevant canonical documents. These are your constraints; every world fact, system rule, and historical date in your scene must be consistent with them.
  • <manuscript_context>: Surrounding chapters for continuity. What has already been established in tone, pacing, and narrative momentum.
  • <style_conventions>: The project's style guide: prose principles, tense rules, POV rules, terminology preferences
  • <character_docs>: CRITICAL. Character tracking entries with voice patterns, speech tics, emotional flicker entries, key scene anchors, and intellectual frameworks. You must write dialogue that matches these documented voice patterns exactly.
  • <outline>: The outline entry for this scene if one exists. The outline constrains what the scene must accomplish.

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.
