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

autonovel 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 2mo 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.

Autonovel — pipeline entry point

This skill is the front door to the autonovel novel-writing pipeline. The user invokes it when they want to start a new novel, resume an existing one, or just understand what's available.

When to use this skill

  • User says "let's write a novel about X" or "let's continue the novel"
  • User mentions autonovel, the novel pipeline, or asks about phases
  • User wants to see status of an in-progress novel

Prerequisites

The user must set AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE to a writable directory (e.g. ~/novels). Each novel lives in $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/ with its own state.json.

Check the workspace:

!`echo "AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE=$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE" && test -d "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE" && ls -la "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE" || echo "workspace not set or missing"`

If AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE is unset or the directory is missing, ask the user to set it before continuing. Default suggestion: ~/novels.

Workflow

Step 1 — Identify the novel

Ask the user: which novel? Options:

  • Existing novel (list subdirs of $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE)
  • New novel (ask for a short slug, e.g. "house-of-bells")

For a NEW novel:

  1. Ask the user for a one-paragraph seed concept.
    • 1b. If the novel is a commission (user pastes a subscriber request), run references/commission-intake.md instead of asking for a seed paragraph — the approved pitch becomes the seed.
  2. Create $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/.
  3. Copy ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/templates/seed.txt.template to $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/seed.txt, fill in the seed.
  4. Copy ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/templates/state.json.template to $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/state.json, fill in the novel_slug.
  5. Initialize a git repo in the novel directory so revisions are tracked.

Step 2 — Read state.json and dispatch

Read $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/state.json. Look at phase:

  • "foundation" → invoke autonovel-foundation skill
  • "drafting" → invoke autonovel-drafting skill
  • "revision" → invoke autonovel-revision skill
  • "consistency" → invoke autonovel-consistency-pass skill
  • "export" → invoke autonovel-export skill
  • "done" → report status; user can re-enter via autonovel-prose-review for polish

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.
