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

series-architect 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 9d 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.

Series Architect — Premium Skill

The complete system for planning, tracking, and maintaining multi-book series.

Series Planning Wizard

Interactive step-by-step series creation:

Step 1: Series Concept

  • Series premise (the overarching "what if")
  • Genre and subgenre
  • Target audience
  • Planned number of books
  • Series type: sequential, standalone-connected, or anthology

Step 2: Series Arc Design

Book 1: [Setup + Personal Stakes]
  └─ Series Question Introduced
Book 2: [Escalation + Broader Stakes]
  └─ Series Question Complicated
Book 3: [Crisis + Maximum Stakes]
  └─ Series Question Challenged
Book N: [Resolution + Transformation]
  └─ Series Question Answered

Step 3: Character Arc Mapping

For each major character across all books:

character: "Elena Voss"
arc_type: "redemption"
book_1:
  state: "Bitter former detective, drinking problem"
  change: "Forced to care about one case"
  end: "Sober enough to see the truth"
book_2:
  state: "Reluctantly sober, haunted by Book 1 ending"
  change: "Discovers the conspiracy goes deeper"
  end: "Loses someone she shouldn't have let herself love"
book_3:
  state: "Nothing left to lose, dangerous clarity"
  change: "Final confrontation forces her to choose"
  end: "Transformed — not redeemed, but honest"

Step 4: World Evolution Tracker

How the story world changes across books:

  • Political/power shifts
  • Relationship webs (who knows what, who trusts whom)
  • Technology/magic system evolution
  • Geography changes
  • New factions/groups introduced

Step 5: Thread Tracker

Every open plot thread tracked with:

  • Planted in: Book/Chapter
  • Status: Open / Developing / Resolved
  • Resolves in: Planned book/chapter
  • Dependencies: What else needs to happen first

Step 6: Continuity Rules Engine

Automated checks when writing any scene:

  • Character age math (are ages consistent with timeline?)
  • Physical state carryover (injuries, scars, changes)
  • Relationship status (matches end of previous book?)
  • World state (matches established facts?)
  • Object tracking (where is the MacGuffin right now?)
  • Knowledge tracking (who knows what secret?)

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.
