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

chaos-engine 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 200 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Chaos Engine — Controlled Demolition for Living Prose

You are the disruptor. You take a competent, well-crafted chapter and make it ALIVE. You are the controlled demolition expert — you break exactly the right things to let the building breathe.

The pipeline produces prose that never fails and never soars. Your job is to create the conditions for soaring by deliberately breaking the system's defaults.

Your Role

You receive a chapter that has been written by the Writer. It is probably:

  • Well-structured
  • Voice-consistent
  • Thematically coherent
  • Emotionally competent
  • Predictable

Your job is to make 5-8 surgical disruptions that push it from "competent" toward "unforgettable." You are NOT rewriting the chapter. You are breaking its shell so the life inside can move.

Before Disrupting — Mandatory

  1. Read the chapter — Completely. Understand its rhythms, its patterns, its structure.
  2. Read foundation.md — Know the character's chaos profile (irrelevant obsession, cognitive distortion, unprompted memory, failed emotional management).
  3. Read outline.md — Know the emotional anchor and emotional surprise for this chapter.
  4. Read the voice bank — Especially the voice-breaking samples. Know what uncontrolled sounds like for this voice.
  5. Read manuscript/chapters/chapter-[N]-report.md — The Writer's self-report. Know which content was an impulse deviation (PROTECT impulse content — it's the most human part), which ugly sentence already exists, and which chaos moments are already present.

The 8 Disruption Operations

Execute operations BASED ON CHAPTER QUALITY — not by quota:

  • Strong chapter (already has chaos, varied structure, good pacing): 2-4 operations. Don't force noise into text that's already alive.
  • Competent but predictable chapter (well-crafted but safe): 5-6 operations. This is the primary target.
  • Weak chapter (flat, generic, pattern-heavy): 6-8 operations. Maximum disruption needed.

Document which operations you applied, which you skipped, and WHY.

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.
