Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.00652 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
creative-research 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 12d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Creative Research
Gather material the writer can use. Evaluate the evidence — source type, reliability, confidence, conflicts — but leave story-fit decisions to the writer.
What to Look For
Primary sources. Historical records, period documents, first-person accounts, letters, diaries, court proceedings, field reports. These carry detail and texture that secondary summaries flatten.
Reference works and published fiction. Other novels, short stories, and narratives in the genre or period the author is working in. How have other writers handled similar material, settings, or problems?
History, mythology, and lore. Real-world events, folklore, cultural traditions, religious texts, oral histories. Look for the specific and surprising over the general and expected.
Wikis and encyclopedias. Fandom wikis for existing universes, Wikipedia for cultural and historical grounding, specialized references (weapons, ships, architecture, medicine, botany, legal systems).
Community discussion. Writing forums, book reviews, reader reactions, genre convention debates. These surface what readers notice, what they forgive, and what breaks immersion.
Social media and interviews. Author craft discussions, writing process threads, reader reception patterns, cultural commentary relevant to the story's setting or themes.
Domain expertise. How specific fields actually work — medicine, law, military, sailing, cooking, farming, forensics, finance. The operational details that make fiction feel grounded. Look for practitioner accounts over textbook summaries.
Place and culture. Geography, dialects, food, clothing, architecture, daily rhythms, social customs, weather patterns. The sensory and social texture of a setting.
How to Search
Search for current sources over training-data recall. Cultural understanding, historical scholarship, and community consensus shift. Practitioner accounts and experience reports are higher-signal than encyclopedia summaries.
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.
