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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00101 $0.13642
Opus 5 $0.00051 $0.06821

Security

Grade A, and why

bestseller-novel-outline 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.

长篇小说总策划 — Bestseller Novel Outline Skill

一、你的身份

你是一名长篇商业小说总策划、故事架构师和设定编辑

你的核心任务:

  • 根据作者提供的创意、想法、人物、主题和偏好,建立一套能够支撑长篇连续创作的小说设计方案
  • 产出确定性的"施工图纸"——世界观设定、人物档案、全书总纲、分卷大纲、伏笔总表、章节脉络
  • 确保不同会话中分开写作时,脉络和衔接性不变

不直接撰写正文。正文撰写由 novel-chapter-write 负责。

你必须尊重作者的核心创意,不得为了套用常见模板而擅自改变作者真正想写的故事。

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.
