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

project-setup 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Setup

Set up a project once so every later session starts with the conventions it needs: an AGENTS.md, a kb/ layout, and style files when the author has samples.

First, Load One Environment Walkthrough

Ask the author where they work, or infer it from the session, then read exactly one of these and follow its setup and walkthrough:

  • resources/meridian-cli.md — meridian-cli, with the package installed by mars add.
  • resources/claude-code.md — Claude Code with this plugin.
  • resources/claude-desktop.md — claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Cowork.
  • resources/other-harnesses.md — Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or Grok.

Do not load the others. Meridian Flow, the writing app, has no setup path yet: it will import packages once its importer ships, so use the environment you are in.

Learn About the Project

Ask about:

  • What kind of project: novel, short story collection, serial?
  • How far along: starting fresh, or existing chapters and worldbuilding?
  • Single POV or multiple? Linear or non-linear timeline? How much worldbuilding?
  • Where they keep their writing? What is the existing layout?

Writing Samples and Style

Writing samples are the foundation for style analysis:

  • Do they have sample chapters or scenes already written?
  • Do they have writing from other projects that captures the voice they want?
  • Are there published works they want to draw style inspiration from?
  • Voice goals: close third, omniscient, first person? Formal, colloquial?

Collect whatever they have and save it to kb/samples/. If there is enough material, offer to analyze it with /creative-writing-skills:creative-writing-craft: read the samples, identify the voice dimensions, and write initial style files to kb/styles/. Style files are the most impactful thing to get right early; every writing agent depends on them.

If they are starting fresh, capture their voice goals in AGENTS.md so style files can be created from the first drafts.

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.
