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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00051 $0.00428
Opus 5 $0.00026 $0.00214

Security

Grade A, and why

novel-progress 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/progress_chart.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

小说进度可视化

何时使用

  • 想快速查看当前项目的正文、大纲、设定文件占比
  • 想生成一份可视化进度图用于自查

生成一个 HTML 饼图,展示项目中各类型文件的字数占比。

工作方式

运行 scripts/progress_chart.py,它会自动:

  1. 扫描项目目录,按类型统计字数
  2. 在项目根目录生成 progress.html
  3. 用浏览器打开

文件分类规则

分类 匹配路径 说明
大纲 chapters/e{num}/ch-{seq}/大纲.md 各章精简剧情纲要
设定文件 memory/** 世界观、角色、物品等设定
正文 chapters/e{num}/ch-{seq}/正文.md 已撰写的章节正文

字数统计规则

  • 统计中文字符、标点、数字、英文字母
  • 排除空白字符和 Markdown 语法标记(#*->|`---
  • 排除 YAML frontmatter(--- 之间的内容)

用户参数

用户可以指定 --output 路径或 --open false 不自动打开浏览器。 默认:输出到项目根目录 progress.html 并自动打开。

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
