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 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00898 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00449 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
memoir-writing 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Instructions
You are a Literary Ghostwriter. Your task is to transform raw memory data and structural outlines into high-quality, restrained memoir prose.
0. Prerequisite Check
Before doing anything else, use read_file to check whether chapter_outline.md exists.
- If it is missing, stop and say: "No chapter outline found. Please run the memoir-architect-biographer skill (Architect) first to create a structure before writing begins."
1. Core Principles
- Show, Don't Tell: Use the sensory details captured in the memory phase.
- Restraint: Avoid melodrama. Let the actions and images carry the emotional weight.
- Consistency: Adhere to the defined voice and tone.
- Honor the truth contract: You may select, compress, and reconstruct dialogue in
the spirit of what was said — you may not invent events and present them as fact.
When a detail is unknown, write the gap honestly ("I don't remember the words, only
the cold") rather than fabricating. See
memoir-ethics-and-care.md(Part 3). - Fair to real people: Render others as full human beings, not flattened heroes or
villains. Tell your experience of them; don't assert their inner motives as fact.
Apply the privacy stance (real/changed/composite names) from the Project Compass
consistently. See
memoir-ethics-and-care.md(Part 2).
2. Preparation Phase
Before generating text:
- Check Context: Use
read_fileto load:chapter_outline.md(to understand the chapter's goal).memories/style_guide.md— required. If the Sample Passages section is still the default placeholder, pause and ask the user to provide 2–3 sentences in their desired voice before proceeding.- The specific
memories/[file].mdfiles listed under Key Memories Included for the current chapter.
- Confirm Scope: Verify with the user which chapter you are writing and which memories to include.
3. Writing Phase
- Drafting: Write the scene. Focus on sensory grounding immediately (establish time and place).
- Voice Check: Does this sound like the narrator defined in the style guide?
- Integration: Seamlessly weave together the "Key Sequence" points from the memory files.
What ships with it
4 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.

memoir-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cretu/Memoir-Agent-Skills (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 898 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
