survey

A skill for reading an entire fictional or structured world from a folder or API and turning it into a creative brief. A creative brief is a concise guide to a work's themes, shape, and feel.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect world data, find themes and relationships, and produce a synthesized brief for creative work.
Why use it?
It helps make sense of many world elements as connected ideas instead of leaving them as separate records.

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

survey scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Survey

Read an entire world -- from a folder on disk or via the API -- and produce a creative brief: not a data dump, but a reading of the world's soul.

Quick Reference

Step Action
0 Pick the source: world FOLDER (path; no credentials) or API (credentials)
1 Folder: read world.json + walk elements/*/ (see knowledge/world-folder.md). API: get credentials
2 Validate source + world info
3 Load all element types (folder read or parallel API fetch)
4 Read, connect, synthesize
5 Write the brief

Folder source: if the user has an Atlas world folder, converter output, or any OW-shaped folder, read it directly -- world.json for meta, every .json under elements//, keyed on internal id (never the filename). Steps 4-5 are identical from there. No account, no network.

World Size Brief Length Approach
Under 20 elements Short (~60-80 lines) Go deep on each element
20-100 elements Standard (~100-150 lines) Cover shape and highlights
100-300 elements Full (~150-200 lines) Find clusters and themes
300+ elements Focused (~150-200 lines) Find the skeleton, don't cover everything

Instructions

Step 1: Pick the Source

  • World folder (no credentials): the user has an Atlas world folder or any OW-shaped folder. Read world.json for meta, walk elements/*/ keying on internal id (knowledge/world-folder.md) — then skip to Step 4.
  • API: check for .ow/config.json in current directory first:
Config Found credential_mode Action
Yes full Load API-Key + API-Pin from .env
Yes key-only Load API-Key from .env, ask user for PIN
Yes manual Ask user for both
No Check .env for ONLYWORLDS_API_KEY / ONLYWORLDS_API_PIN, then ask user

Step 2: Validate + Fetch World

curl -s "https://www.onlyworlds.com/api/v2/world" \
  -H "API-Key: {key}" -H "API-Pin: {pin}"

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.

survey is a skill published in the GitHub repository OnlyWorlds/toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,580 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
