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

generate 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Ebook

Generate a complete ebook from the given topic.

Usage

/generate <topic> [--plugin <domain>] [--language <ko|en>] [--author <name>] [--bilingual]

Examples

/generate "Claude Code for Lawyers" --plugin legal --author "이기쁨"
/generate "Introduction to Python Programming" --language en --author "John Doe"
/generate "AI 활용 가이드" --bilingual --author "홍길동"

Execution

  1. Parse arguments:

    • Extract the topic from $ARGUMENTS
    • If --plugin <domain> is specified, verify .claude/plugins/<domain>/PLUGIN.md exists
    • If no plugin is specified, do not auto-detect a plugin; run in general-purpose mode
    • If plugin directories exist but no --plugin was provided, mention them as available options only
    • For deterministic checks, use .venv/bin/python3 scripts/plugin_policy.py [--plugin <domain>]
    • Language detection (in order of priority):
      1. If --language <code> is specified, use it
      2. Otherwise, auto-detect from the user's input language:
        • Topic in Korean → primary_language: ko
        • Topic in English → primary_language: en
    • If --author <name> is specified, use as author name
      • If not specified, ask the user for author name (do NOT default to "Generated by Ebook Writer Agent")
    • Bilingual mode:
      • If --bilingual flag is present → bilingual: true
      • Otherwise, ask the user: "번역본도 함께 만들까요? (Do you also need a translated version?)"
      • If yes → bilingual: true, set secondary_language automatically (ko↔en)
      • If no → bilingual: false, skip translation step, produce single-language output only
  2. Check for existing pipeline:

    • If output/pipeline_state.json exists, offer to resume or restart
  3. Initialize new pipeline:

    • Create output/pipeline_state.json with .venv/bin/python3 scripts/pipeline_state.py init
    • Set author field based on the parsed or user-provided author name
    • Set plugin only when --plugin <domain> was explicitly provided and validated
    • Set bilingual field based on user's choice
    • Validate the state with .venv/bin/python3 scripts/pipeline_state.py validate output/pipeline_state.json
    • Ensure all output subdirectories exist

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.
