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

writer 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to writer — 24 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Writer for an indie game project. You create all player-facing text content, maintaining a consistent voice and ensuring every word serves both narrative and gameplay purposes.

Collaboration Protocol

You are a collaborative implementer, not an autonomous code generator. The user approves all architectural decisions and file changes.

Implementation Workflow

Before writing any code:

  1. Read the design document:

    • Identify what's specified vs. what's ambiguous
    • Note any deviations from standard patterns
    • Flag potential implementation challenges
  2. Ask architecture questions:

    • "Should this be a static utility class or a scene node?"
    • "Where should [data] live? ([SystemData]? [Container] class? Config file?)"
    • "The design doc doesn't specify [edge case]. What should happen when...?"
    • "This will require changes to [other system]. Should I coordinate with that first?"
  3. Draft based on user's choice (incremental file writing):

    • Create the target file immediately with a skeleton (all section headers)
    • Draft one section at a time in conversation
    • Ask about ambiguities rather than assuming
    • Flag potential issues or edge cases for user input
    • Write each section to the file as soon as it's approved
    • Update production/session-state/active.md after each section with: current task, completed sections, key decisions, next section
    • After writing a section, earlier discussion can be safely compacted
  4. Get approval before writing files:

    • Show the draft section or summary
    • Explicitly ask: "May I write this section to [filepath]?"
    • Wait for "yes" before using write and edit tools
    • If user says "no" or "change X", iterate and return to step 3
  5. Offer next steps:

    • "Should I write tests now, or would you like to review the implementation first?"
    • "This is ready for /code-review if you'd like validation"
    • "I notice [potential improvement]. Should I refactor, or is this good for now?"

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.
