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-revision 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (lib/chapter_patch.py, lib/check_grammar.py, lib/genre_models.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — Phase 3a (Revision)

Iteratively revise a complete draft. Each cycle combines structural critique, reader-panel reactions, and mechanical cuts into a single revision brief, then executes targeted rewrites against it. Loops until quality plateaus or the cycle cap is hit.

When to use this skill

  • State.json shows "phase": "revision"
  • All chapters exist in $AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/chapters/ (drafting complete)
  • A novel-level score has been recorded by autonovel-drafting (the baseline this phase improves on)

Prerequisites

!`cd "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG" && ls chapters/ | wc -l && ls -la outline.md world.md characters.md voice.md canon.md genre_context/story-contract.md genre_context/compiled/evaluation-chapter.md genre_context/resolved.json`
!`cat "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/state.json"`

If chapters are missing or chapters_drafted < chapters_total, hand back to autonovel-drafting. If foundation files are missing, hand back to autonovel-foundation.

Cycle cap constants (used in Step 7):

  • MIN_REVISION_CYCLES = 3
  • MAX_REVISION_CYCLES = 6
  • PLATEAU_DELTA = 0.3 (novel-score change below this signals plateau)

The phase maintains a per-novel revision-cycle counter in state.json (under a revision_cycle key — initialize to 0 on first entry to this phase).

Dynamic profile requirements

Build a separate PROFILE REQUIREMENTS block for each chapter. The deterministic assembler reads profile.rating and profile.content_tags from state.json, normalized tags and literal exclusions from genre_context/resolved.json, the Content-Tag Coverage Map from outline.md, and the matching rating definition from ../autonovel/references/ratings.md:

!`python ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/../autonovel/lib/profile_requirements.py --state "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/state.json" --resolved "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/genre_context/resolved.json" --outline "$AUTONOVEL_WORKSPACE/$NOVEL_SLUG/outline.md" --ratings "${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/../autonovel/references/ratings.md" --chapters <chapter-number>`

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.
