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

chapter-illustration 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 20d 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

Chapter Illustration

Use this Skill when the author requests an illustration for a chapter or the editor sends /chapter-illustration.

Workflow

  1. Determine the target chapter path:
    • Use the chapter path explicitly provided by the user.
    • Otherwise, use the chapter currently focused in the IDE context.
    • If no chapter is focused, identify the most recent chapter from the workspace summary or chapters/ directory.
  2. Read the target chapter before composing the image prompt. If the selected path is not a chapter, ask the user to select one.
  3. Choose a visually compelling, spoiler-free moment from the chapter. Do not reveal future reversals, hidden identities, or undisclosed canon.
  4. Write a clear Chinese image prompt containing the subject, scene, composition, lighting, style, and mood, with explicit negative constraints against text, watermarks, and logos.
  5. Call the general generate_image tool with:
    • purpose: chapter_illustration.
    • target_path: the target chapter's relative path.
    • prompt: the complete Chinese image prompt.
    • alt_text: a Chinese description suitable for a Markdown image.
    • size: optionally choose a supported 2K, 3K, or 4K size based on the composition; otherwise omit it and use the default policy.
    • output_format: png or jpeg; omit it when uncertain.
  6. After the tool returns, briefly report what was generated and tell the user to use the illustration card's insertion action. Do not repeat the Markdown image reference in a fenced code block. Do not edit the chapter prose automatically.

Constraints

  • Generate exactly one chapter illustration per request.
  • Do not generate batches of candidates.
  • Do not use file-write tools to insert Markdown image syntax into the chapter.
  • If the user asks to insert the result, prefer the UI insertion action.

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.
