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

book-genesis 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.

Book Genesis

Book Genesis is Felipe's local book-production pipeline adapted for Codex. It uses the newer book-genesis-codex core as the canonical workflow.

Use this skill for:

  • fiction, memoir, nonfiction, or hybrid book projects
  • turning a rough idea into a structured book
  • drafting full manuscripts chapter by chapter
  • auditing AI-written prose and narrative structure
  • producing Genesis Score evaluations
  • creating synopses, cover briefs, launch/editorial packages, and formatting handoff notes

Do not use the legacy V4 17-phase workflow as the default. It is copied only for historical reference in references/legacy-v4-book-genesis.md.

Core Rule

Persist important decisions to files. A Book Genesis run should leave a durable project tree, not just chat output.

Commercial-length is a hard contract, not a preference. A manuscript cannot be called complete, final-scored as publication-ready, or packaged for a bestseller/public launch unless it either:

  • meets the genre/audience target_floor_words recorded in PROJECT_STATE.yaml, or
  • is explicitly positioned from intake as a novella, short novel, or serial installment.

If no explicit short-form positioning exists, default to full-length commercial book standards.

Default project layout:

<project>/
  PROJECT_STATE.yaml
  ASSUMPTIONS.md
  artifacts/
  manuscript/
    chapters/
  evaluations/
  delivery/

Canonical Pipeline

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.
