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

etincel-nonfiction 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 12d 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.

Étincel Non-Fiction

This skill produces non-fiction prose that reads as if a specific person wrote it, not a model's default output, and it keeps the user in control of every change instead of silently rewriting things behind their back. It pairs with the etincel-nonfiction MCP server's tools: list_styles, get_style_guide, train_style, audit_text, set_default_style, the dictionary tools add_banned_word, remove_banned_word, add_custom_word, remove_custom_word, list_dictionary, and the instructions tools set_style_instructions, clear_style_instructions, get_style_instructions.

When to use this skill

Any non-fiction prose request of meaningful length: email, essay, blog post, newsletter, memo, op-ed, LinkedIn long-form, talk script, README intro, PR description, docs section. Also shorter pieces (an opening line, a closing paragraph) when the user signals they care about voice or tone.

Do not use it for: code, structured data, slide bullets, raw outlines, transcripts, or terse status updates. Those aren't prose.

This skill assists whatever the user is already writing in. It does not send emails, publish posts, or manage documents itself; the user (or another tool) still owns sending, publishing, and saving. This skill only shapes text.

Step 0: pick a style

Before drafting or revising, determine which voice to write in, in this order:

  1. If the user names a style or voice in the request, use that.
  2. Otherwise call get_style_guide with the id from set_default_style, if one exists (call list_styles to check).
  3. Otherwise call list_styles, show the user the options (presets and any trained voices), and ask which to use, unless the request is low-stakes (a quick email reply), in which case default to the direct-warm preset and mention which one you used.

If the user wants a style trained from their own writing and hasn't trained one yet, offer train_style: they supply a few real samples (a few paragraphs each, more samples is better), and it persists a voice profile from measured habits (sentence rhythm, contraction rate, em-dash use, paragraph variance, recurring phrasing), not a vibes-based impression.

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.
