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

convert-epub 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Convert EPUB → Markdown

Convert the EPUB file at $1 to clean markdown format optimized for Claude Code context.

Steps

  1. Install dependency: Use toolsmith:install-dependency skill to ensure epub-to-markdown is installed
  2. Parse arguments: Input file $1 (required), output dir $2 (optional, defaults to ./.tmp/epub-converted/)
  3. Convert: Run epub-to-markdown convert "$1" with --multiple-files flag (one file per chapter)
  4. Report: Output location, file structure, chapter count, preview of table of contents

Goal

Extract clean, structured markdown for LLM context (analysis, summarization, Q&A) — NOT for visual rendering.

Output to .tmp/ to keep excluded from git/searches per Praxis rules.

Changes

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.
