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 | $0.00017 | $0.02051 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01026 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00410 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
read-book 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 9d 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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Read book
Turn a book or long PDF into structured, grep-able notes. Same content-consumption pattern every time: ingest → chunk → extract → write a dated clip to the taste-library. The clip is the deliverable — a knowledge asset that /content-strategy and /thought-leadership pull from for evidence, angles, and named frameworks.
Triggers
"read book", "read this book / PDF", "book notes", "extract notes from this PDF", "summarize this ebook", "what's in this book", "pull quotes from this", "extract frameworks from [book]".
What it accepts
| Input | How it's read |
|---|---|
The Read tool reads PDFs natively (~10 pages per call — chunk longer books). The pdf skill handles extraction edge cases. |
|
| Markdown /.txt | Read directly. No conversion. |
| Pasted text | Use what was pasted. Treat a short paste as one chunk. |
| URL (public-domain text) | WebFetch first (free). Firecrawl (firecrawl_scrape) only if the page is JS-heavy or blocked. Project Gutenberg / archive.org .txt URLs are cleanest. |
| EPUB / MOBI | Convert to PDF or markdown first (ebook-convert, calibre), then read as PDF. If no converter is installed, deferred — give the user the one-line install. |
Detect type from the file extension or URL. If ambiguous, ask.
Modes
| Invocation | Mode | What you get |
|---|---|---|
read-book <input> |
notes (default) | Chapter-by-chapter: TL;DR + key concepts + quotes + action items + frameworks |
read-book <input> summary |
summary | Whole-book TL;DR (1 paragraph) + 3–5 takeaways + who-it's-for |
read-book <input> quotes |
quotes | Pull-quote highlights only, with chapter + page refs |
read-book <input> study |
study | Notes + 10–20 spaced-repetition Q&A cards |
Full per-mode templates: the premium reference. A long book (>200 pages) with no mode given defaults to notes — warn it'll take many read passes.
Process
Step 1 — Parse input and mode
Detect the format (table above) and the mode (default notes). Confirm the target book if the input is ambiguous.
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.
