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

crucible-edit 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 12d 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.

/crucible-edit

Revise and edit your Crucible manuscript at multiple levels.

Execution Instructions

IMPORTANT: When this command is invoked, you MUST:

  1. Invoke the crucible-suite:crucible-editor skill using the Skill tool
  2. The skill will guide you through the complete editing workflow
  3. Follow the skill's assessment and multi-level editing protocol
  4. If bi-chapter review reports exist, prioritize the issues they flagged

Usage

  • /crucible-suite:crucible-edit 1 - Edit chapter 1
  • /crucible-suite:crucible-edit 5-10 - Edit chapters 5 through 10
  • /crucible-suite:crucible-edit all - Full manuscript editing pass

What This Does

  1. Activates the crucible-editor skill (you must follow its instructions)
  2. Assesses the draft to determine editing needs
  3. Works through four editing levels (as needed):
    • Developmental - Structure, pacing, character arcs
    • Line editing - Prose quality, voice consistency
    • Copy editing - Grammar, consistency, style
    • Polish - Final refinement, word choice, rhythm
  4. Generates detailed change reports
  5. Preserves original versions for comparison

Editing Levels

Developmental Editing

  • Structural issues (scene order, chapter breaks)
  • Pacing problems (sections that drag or rush)
  • Character arc verification
  • Plot coherence checks

Line Editing

  • Show vs tell improvements
  • Filter word removal
  • Weak verb strengthening
  • Dialogue refinement
  • Sensory detail balance

Copy Editing

  • Grammar and punctuation
  • Tense and POV consistency
  • Name/term spelling consistency
  • Timeline reference accuracy

Polish

  • Opening/closing sentence impact
  • Sentence rhythm refinement
  • Word choice precision
  • Final read-aloud quality

Prerequisites

Requires draft chapters from /crucible-suite:crucible-write or imported manuscript.

Optional but recommended:

  • Original chapter outlines (for developmental editing)
  • Style profile (for voice consistency)
  • Story bible (for continuity checking)
  • Bi-chapter review reports (prioritizes flagged issues)

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.
