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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00072 | $0.01946 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00973 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
publish-novel 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 8d 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 — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Publish Novel
Before running a bundled command, resolve <skill-dir> to the absolute directory
containing this SKILL.md, and resolve <skills-dir> to its parent directory.
Keep --project-root pointed at the active novel workspace, not at the skill or
plugin installation.
Operating Contract
Turn an author request such as "Publish this novel" into the complete EPUB workflow. Do not ask the author to type shell commands. Run the bundled script yourself, verify the result, and report the artifact path.
Treat Markdown and project assets as canonical source. Treat published/epub/ and .epub files as generated output. Never repair a generated EPUB by hand; update source and republish.
Retain both outputs after a successful build. published/epub/ is the
inspectable staging tree, while published/*.epub is the ZIP-based EPUB
container intended for reading software. Rebuilding may replace the contents of
the staging tree, but publication must not delete it after packaging.
Interpret publish as local EPUB generation only. Do not upload, distribute, email, release, or submit the book to a storefront or external service unless the author explicitly requests that separate action.
Do not invoke analytical-review merely because the author asks to publish,
export, build, regenerate, package, or validate an existing novel. Ordinary
publication retains the structural and continuity preflight below. When a
fully autonomous start-to-publication workflow was explicitly authorized, the
orchestrating storytelling workflow must complete analytical review,
finding disposition, revision, and bounded regression review before handing
the manuscript to this skill. Keep literary judgment out of build_epub.py.
Workflow
1. Read Publication Context
Read:
AGENTS.mdproject.mdpublished/README.md- publishable chapter filenames and frontmatter, plus image references needed for packaging
style/visual-style-guide.md- existing files under
assets/cover/andassets/illustrations/
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

publish-novel is a skill published in the GitHub repository comfuture/novelist (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,946 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
