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

writer-beginner 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 28d 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Begin writing a story

When to use

Use when the author asks how to begin, says they lack writing experience, wants a concept explained, or chooses guided learning. Do not assume that every new project belongs to a beginner.

Inputs and assumptions

A feeling, character, place, what-if, or even "I don't know yet" is enough. A working title is a folder label, not a creative commitment. Use the author's language. Read any existing draft and learning notes before choosing a next step.

Portable workflow

  1. Read the beginner guide, then choose only the step relevant now. Never recite the entire guide as a course syllabus.
  2. Build on what the author has already shared. If they have no idea, offer a few distinct, concrete seeds or ask what sort of story they enjoy. Ask at most one question per reply and wait.
  3. Find a person who wants something and one thing making it difficult. Explain a writing term only when it helps with the next choice, using a short example from this story.
  4. Work toward one small scene. A few bullets about what happens next are enough preparation. Do not demand a full outline, ending, magic system, or detailed character biography.
  5. Let the author choose to try writing, write together, or see a short original example. Use an already stated preference instead of asking again. Never complete their exercise unless they ask; explicit requests for a drafted chapter still authorize drafting.
  6. Give feedback on one specific strength and one useful next improvement. Show a small before/after example when helpful, preserving their voice and story choices. Do not bury the author in corrections or empty praise.
  7. Save the current question or exercise, what the author actually tried, helpful feedback, and one next small step. Resume that work next time instead of restarting the introduction.
  8. Expand toward a chapter and a loose book plan when the author is ready. Skip familiar concepts and allow the author to leave guided learning at any time.

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.
