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-outline 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

Story outlining

When to use

Use for a new opening, an upcoming chapter, a volume plan, or structural revision.

Inputs and assumptions

Read the premise, approved canon, ending intentions, and requested scale. Distinguish a scene plan from a series plan.

Portable workflow

  1. Establish the central question and the change this unit must cause.
  2. Choose a suitable structure. Do not force every story into three acts or a hero's journey.
  3. For each beat, record the viewpoint character's goal, pressure, available information, choice, and consequence.
  4. Track what the reader expects, when information becomes available, and which promises need later payoffs.
  5. At chapter and volume boundaries, balance local satisfaction with intentionally open questions.
  6. Mark uncertain beats and offer alternatives rather than claiming the outline is approved.
  7. Save the plan at the requested scope following the project workflow.

Safety and side effects

Outline changes can affect later canon. Ask before replacing approved structure; keep existing drafts intact.

Scripts, references, and dependencies

Use format guidance. No scripts or external dependencies.

Verification

A beat should change the situation, knowledge, relationship, or expectation. Check that transitions have causes and major payoffs have setup. Identify any intentional open ending.

Pi adapter

Use /writer outline --brief "Plan the next three chapters without resolving the identity mystery" or /writer new volume "The Winter Campaign".

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.
