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_map.update 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 yesterday.

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 — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

  • Given a book map <BOOK_MAP> (e.g., book_Modern_AI_for_Finance/book_map.md), make it follow .claude/skills/book_map.rules.md:
    • Renumber the chapters
    • Reorder # Detailed TOC to follow ## Short TOC
    • Keep the Roadmap table in sync
    • Rename the numbered files in <BOOK>/lectures_source/ and <BOOK>/tutorials/, and fix the references to them
  • Write a plan, wait for the user to approve it, then apply it

Inputs

  • <BOOK_MAP>: the book map to update
  • <BOOK>: the directory that contains <BOOK_MAP>

Workflow

Read

  • Read .claude/skills/book_map.rules.md and <BOOK_MAP> in full
  • Use .claude/templates/book_map.template.md for the structure of new chapters
  • Follow .claude/skills/markdown.rules.md and .claude/skills/text.rules.md for any text you add

Compute the New Numbers

  • ## Short TOC is the source of truth for chapter order, parts, and part names
    • Do not trust the chapter numbers in the file
  • Match chapters across Short TOC, Detailed TOC, and Roadmap by title
    • Treat titles that differ only in case, and, or a trailing s as equal
  • Number the chapters 01, 02, ... in Short TOC order, with no gaps
    • Number the entries marked ? too
  • Keep the map old number -> new number

Map the Files

  • Look recursively in <BOOK>/lectures_source/ and <BOOK>/tutorials/
  • A name is numbered when Lesson or L is followed by <NN> and . or _
    • E.g., Lesson05.01_Forecasting.smd, L05_forecasting/, L05_01_forecasting.ipynb, figures/L05.01.Drawdown.png
  • Skip __pycache__/, *.pyc, *.log, OLD/, old/, and names with no number
  • Assign each file to a chapter:
    • First by the file name in the Roadmap, ### Slides, or ### Tutorials
    • Then by the old number in the name
  • Build the new name by replacing only <NN>
    • Keep <MM>, the title, and the extension
  • Do not rename a file when the two rules disagree or no chapter matches: ask under ## Questions

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.
