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

article-workflow-brief 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 1mo 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.

Article Workflow Brief

这是流程类 Skill，默认仅在用户显式调用 $article-workflow-brief 时运行。

This is the first step in the article-workflow-* skill series, corresponding to Phase 0 of the article optimization workflow.

Goal: Organize an editorial Brief from oral drafts and outlines, helping the author confirm the article's thesis, target audience, main narrative thread, personal judgments, and evidence standards. The AI is an editorial assistant — it does not decide the author's final viewpoints for them. Decisions that require the author's input must be collected through dialog, not written into the final brief as unresolved items.

Trigger Scenarios

Use this skill when the user requests:

  • Generate, organize, or update .article-workflow/brief.md
  • Read .article-workflow/sources/outline.md and .article-workflow/sources/oral-draft/
  • Generate an editorial brief based on oral drafts
  • Execute Phase 0 of the article optimization workflow
  • Collect user decisions through dialog and write them into the brief

Input and Output

Default inputs:

  • .article-workflow/sources/outline.md
  • .article-workflow/sources/oral-draft/
  • Optional: .article-workflow/sources/references/
  • Optional: .article-workflow/sources/proofs/

Default output:

  • .article-workflow/brief.md

If the user provides an article directory, look for .article-workflow/ inside it first. If the user only provides an oral draft directory, ask where the brief should be saved.

Core Principles

  • Edit, don't ghostwrite.
  • Do not rewrite the article body.
  • Do not decide the author's final viewpoints for them.
  • First identify questions that require the author's decision, collect the author's choices through dialog, then write the confirmed results into the brief.
  • When encountering ambiguities that affect the thesis, audience, structural trade-offs, author judgments, or evidence standards, proactively use dialog to ask the user for confirmation — do not silently guess.
  • The author makes judgments; the AI diagnoses, organizes, and executes.
  • After each round's deliverable is complete, a sub-agent must be launched for alignment review; the sub-agent only offers review feedback, and the main agent decides whether to adopt it.
  • Preserve the author's personal judgments, first-person experiences, viewpoint formation process, and distinctive voice.
  • Technical details, evidence, and materials serve the article's main narrative only — do not turn the brief into a material dump.

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.
