Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00058 | $0.01082 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00541 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00216 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00108 |
Grade A, and why
gemini-writer 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 2d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Gemini Writer
Leverage Gemini 2.5 Pro's 1M token context window for writing tasks that exceed what Claude can hold in a single context. The key advantage: Gemini can read the ENTIRE manuscript plus all annotations, voice guides, and editorial instructions in a single pass, then produce a rewritten chapter that accounts for everything at once.
When to Use
- Book manuscript rewrites — when the author has annotations across multiple chapters and cross-chapter issues need to be resolved simultaneously
- Structural refactoring — moving sections between chapters, resolving redundancy, reordering content
- Voice-consistent rewrites — when you have a voice guide + source material + current draft and need a revision that respects all three
- Batch processing — rewriting multiple chapters one at a time, but with full manuscript context for each
When NOT to Use
- Quick edits to a single paragraph (just use Claude directly)
- Tasks requiring web search or real-time information (use deep-research instead)
- Tasks where the total context is under 100K tokens (Claude handles this fine)
Architecture
The script sends content to Gemini's generateContent API (not the Interactions/research API). Two modes:
Single-Pass Mode
Send everything, get one big output. Best for analysis tasks (redundancy audit, structural plan).
Batch Mode (Recommended for Rewrites)
Send full manuscript as context, but process ONE chapter at a time. This means:
- Gemini sees everything (all chapters, all annotations, all instructions)
- But it only outputs one chapter per call
- This keeps output quality high (no truncation) while maintaining full cross-chapter awareness
Workflow
1. Prepare the Prompt File
Create a markdown file with detailed instructions. Two levels:
System instruction (optional, --system): Voice guide, style rules, constraints that apply to every chapter.
Prompt (--prompt): Specific task instructions — what to fix, what to preserve, what to move, what annotations mean.
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.

gemini-writer is a skill published in the GitHub repository cdeistopened/skill-stack (27 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,082 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
