What is genre-specialist?

A writing assistant that manages genre conventions, recurring story patterns, and reader expectations across genres such as romance, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery.

Use it to identify a project's genres, plan genre-specific elements, choose useful tropes, avoid stale clichés, and shape the story for its intended readers.

It helps writers decide which genre elements to include and which overused patterns to avoid. It also helps keep mixed-genre stories coherent.

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	$0.00000	$0.01436
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00574
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00287
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00144

Security

Grade A, and why

genre-specialist 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.
