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

epub-chapter-extractor 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 4d 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

EPUB Chapter Extractor

Extract each chapter from an EPUB file into its own markdown file.

Instructions

When the user wants to extract chapters from an EPUB, run the extraction script with uv:

cd ~/.claude/skills/epub-chapter-extractor && uv run --with ebooklib --with beautifulsoup4 --with html2text --with lxml python extract_chapters.py "/path/to/book.epub" [output_dir]

If output_dir is omitted, creates a folder named after the EPUB in the same directory.

Example

User: "Extract chapters from /Users/yourname/Books/mybook.epub"

cd ~/.claude/skills/epub-chapter-extractor && uv run --with ebooklib --with beautifulsoup4 --with html2text --with lxml python extract_chapters.py "/Users/yourname/Books/mybook.epub"

Output files will be at /Users/yourname/Books/mybook/:

  • 01_introduction.md
  • 02_chapter_one.md
  • etc.

After extraction, open the output folder:

open /Users/yourname/Books/mybook

Output Format

Each chapter file contains:

# Chapter Title

[Chapter content in markdown format]

Files are numbered for proper sorting: 01_, 02_, etc.

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.
