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.

Opus 5.5 $0.00020 $0.00092

Security

Grade A, and why

creative-writing-craft 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 10d 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

Creative Writing Craft

How fiction works on the page. /creative-writing-skills:writing-principles carries the reader-reward model and failure-mode diagnostics; this skill carries the execution.

Load only the resource the pass needs:

  • resources/prose-modes.md — writing prose: fresh draft, revision, bridge, alternate take, line polish. Read the section for your pass before writing.
  • resources/prose-writing.md — psychic distance, free indirect discourse, rhythm, sensory grounding, interiority, POV.
  • resources/scene-construction.md — scene entry, dialogue, pacing, transitions.
  • resources/style-analysis.md — analyzing prose samples and producing style reference files.
  • resources/genre/ — genre-specific craft guidance when genre promise shapes the page.
Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
