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-novel 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.

What it actually says

Novels and short fiction

When to use

Use for prose fiction requiring sustained character development, structural choices, or short-story compression. A Roman is a novel; romance is a separate genre choice.

Inputs and assumptions

Confirm intended length, genre, audience, language, viewpoint strategy, and whether the task is planning or drafting.

Portable workflow

  1. Read format guidance and the approved brief.
  2. Establish the central conflict or inquiry, the character's changing choices, and the ending promise.
  3. Choose a structure suited to the material. Braided or episodic stories need clear transitions, not forced convergence at arbitrary percentages.
  4. At chapter scale, balance external events, relationships, and interior change. Each subplot should earn its space.
  5. At short-story scale, constrain the number of promises and start close to the pressure point.
  6. Draft with the prose skill, review against the intended reader effect, and preserve the author's voice.
  7. Follow the saved-project workflow rather than attempting an entire manuscript in one response.

Safety and side effects

Do not rewrite the premise or ending merely to fit a template. Save revisions separately and ask before structural changes that invalidate existing chapters.

Scripts, references, and dependencies

No external dependencies. Use the shared format and project references.

Verification

Check scene causality, subplot relevance, viewpoint consistency, and whether the ending answers or deliberately reframes the promises made to the reader.

Pi adapter

Start with /writer new book "The Glass Orchard" --format novel, or use --format short-story for a compact work.

Changes

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.
