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-plan 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

/crucible-plan

Start or continue planning an epic fantasy novel using the Crucible Structure.

Execution Instructions

IMPORTANT: When this command is invoked, you MUST:

  1. Invoke the crucible-suite:crucible-planner skill using the Skill tool
  2. The skill will guide you through the complete planning workflow
  3. Follow the skill's questioning protocol with multi-choice questions

Usage

  • /crucible-suite:crucible-plan [your premise] - Start new planning with a premise
  • /crucible-suite:crucible-plan continue - Resume existing planning session

What This Does

  1. Activates the crucible-planner skill (you must follow its instructions)
  2. Guides you through interactive questions for all three strands (Quest, Fire, Constellation)
  3. Generates 7 comprehensive planning documents:
    • Crucible Thesis (philosophical core)
    • Strand Maps (3 separate arc maps)
    • Forge Point Blueprints (5 convergence crises)
    • Dark Mirror Profile (antagonist design)
    • Constellation Bible (character relationships)
    • Mercy Ledger (mercy/payoff tracking)
    • World Forge (world-building)
  4. Saves state for resumable sessions

Prerequisites

None - this is the first step in the Crucible workflow.

Example

/crucible-suite:crucible-plan A young blacksmith discovers she can forge weapons that steal the memories of those they cut. When her village is destroyed by a memory-hunting cult, she must master her forbidden gift to save the last people who remember the old ways.

What Happens Next

After planning completes, you can:

  • /crucible-suite:crucible-outline - Create chapter outlines from your planning documents
  • Review and adjust any planning document
  • Add more detail to specific elements
Changes

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.
