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-codex 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 Universal Core

Book Genesis Universal Core is Felipe's portable book-production pipeline for file-aware AI agents. It works in Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Kimi, and similar tools that can read project files and write artifacts.

The skill folder is still named book-genesis-codex for compatibility with existing installs and slash commands. The workflow is not Codex-only. It is the canonical lightweight workflow for new runs, separate from the legacy V4/V5 multi-skill system kept elsewhere in this repository.

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 It is copied only for historical reference in references/legacy-v4-book-genesis.md.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.

Default project layout:

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

Canonical Pipeline

Load references/pipeline/manifest.yaml before starting or advancing phases.

  1. Phase 0: Intake
  2. Phase 1: Foundation
  3. Phase 2: Architecture
  4. Phase 3: Drafting
  5. Phase 4: Adversarial Audit
  6. Phase 5: Final Score
  7. Phase 6: Editorial Package

Use references/pipeline/phases.md for the compact phase overview.

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.
