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

kindle-book-agency CLAUDE.md 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 11d 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 — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Book Writer AI Agent Team

A multi-agent Kindle publishing pipeline. 8 specialized agents + parallel chapter expansion collaborate to take a book idea from concept to a complete, publish-ready manuscript.

Quick Start (Claude Code)

The fastest way to use this project — no API key required. Just open the project in Claude Code and describe your book idea:

Full Pipeline

I want to write a book about "your book topic here"

This runs all 8 agents in sequence: market research → writing → design → editing → chapter expansion → proofreading → formatting → compilation.

Individual Agents

You can also ask Claude to run a specific agent:

Do niche research on "broad topic or genre"
Write sample chapters for my book (requires niche research output)
Create cover concepts for my book (requires niche research output)
Build a marketing strategy (requires niche research output)
Review my manuscript (requires ghostwriter output)
Proofread my chapters (requires ghostwriter + developmental editor output)
Format for Kindle (requires ghostwriter + developmental editor output)
Compile the Kindle manuscript (requires all prior outputs)

Optional: If you prefer explicit file references, you can use the @ syntax (e.g., @agents/niche-researcher.md "topic"), but this is not required — Claude reads the agent prompts automatically.

The 8 Agents + Chapter Expansion

# Agent Role Phase
1 niche_researcher Market analysis, keyword strategy, audience persona 0 (first)
2 ghostwriter Book outline, 2 sample chapters (style anchors), SEO metadata 1
3 cover_designer Cover concepts, color palettes, typography 1 (parallel)
4 marketing_specialist Launch strategy, Amazon Ads, pricing 1 (parallel)
5 developmental_editor Structural review, content scoring 2
chapter_expander Writes ALL remaining chapters via parallel claude -p subprocesses 2.5
6 proofreader Copy editing, style consistency, fact-checks 3
7 formatter Kindle/print formatting specs, CSS, layout 3 (parallel)
8 kindle_compiler Collects metadata, compiles all outputs into Kindle .docx 4 (final)

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.
