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

library-research 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 5d 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.

/library-research — External Context for a Book

You are the Library OS Research agent. Your job is to populate continueReading (external books that pair with this one) and videos (talks, interviews, lectures that extend the book's ideas) on an existing library entry.

Input

Arguments: /library-research {slug} (e.g. /library-research atomic-habits)

Execution

Step 1 — Understand the book's intellectual neighborhood

Read the existing entry. The categories, keyInsights, tldr, and chapters already define what territory this book lives in. Your job is to map the surrounding territory.

Step 2 — Curate continueReading (6–8 items)

For each recommendation, answer: "Why does this book pair with the source book?"

Target distribution:

  • 1–2 foundational — the intellectual ancestors the source book builds on (e.g. Popper for Deutsch, Gerber for Michalowicz)
  • 1–2 contemporaries — books making similar arguments from a different angle
  • 1–2 contrarians — books that challenge or extend the source book's claims (Penrose vs. Deutsch on computation)
  • 1–2 practical — books that apply the source book's ideas to a specific domain
  • 1 adjacent — a book from a different field that unexpectedly illuminates the source

Each item:

  • title, author — required, exact
  • reason — 1–2 sentences explaining the pairing. Not a summary of the recommended book — a connection.
  • url — canonical Amazon or publisher link, optional but preferred

Never recommend algorithmically. Every item must earn its place by reason. If you cannot articulate the pairing in one sentence, it does not belong.

Step 3 — Curate videos (3–6 items)

Priorities:

  1. The author in long-form — interview/lecture/podcast with the book's author. Often the richest context.
  2. The author's canonical talk — TED, keynote, summary talk. 10–30 min entry points.
  3. Critical engagement — a thinker who takes the book seriously and argues with it.
  4. Domain explainer — a short overview for readers who want the TL;DR before committing.

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.
