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

shakespeare-style 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 12d 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.

Shakespeare-style — 改寫成朱生豪式中譯莎劇腔

把任何文章改寫成朱生豪式(1940s–50s)的中譯莎劇悲劇腔——譬喻濃密、文白 夾雜、戲劇性情感外露,讀完讓人覺得這不只是一段敘述,而是一場小型的人類 悲劇。

風格參照:朱生豪(1912–1944)譯本為主——朱譯偏濃情半文白,是中文 世界最熟悉的「莎劇腔」。代表譯作:《哈姆萊脫》《李爾王》《奧瑟羅》《麥 克白斯》(即四大悲劇)。梁實秋(1903–1987)譯本較精準淺白,作為 次要對照。

譯本選擇說明:朱譯本 1944 完成,1995 起在台灣公有領域;中國大陸2014 起公有領域。本 skill 預設朱生豪腔;若使用者明確要求梁實秋風格,可在輸入時註明「採梁實秋風」。

一句話靈魂

譬喻密度 + 文白夾雜 + 戲劇性情感外露——三者構成朱生豪腔指紋,缺一就 不是莎劇譯腔。其餘 18 條 checklist 都在服務這三條。

戲劇格式(角色名前綴 + 舞台說明)為 Soft 規則(≥500 字才必加),但戲 劇性情感(呼告、感嘆、反問、誓言)是 Hard——即使散文化譯出,仍需保留 戲劇腔。

Arguments

  • $0 —(選填)Markdown 或純文字檔案路徑。若省略,請使用者提供內文, 或從對話上下文中找最近編輯的檔案。

Step 1: Load the Text

  • 若提供 $0,讀取該檔案。
  • 若無引數,找對話中最近撰寫或編輯的 Markdown 檔,或請使用者提供文字。
  • 若原文不是繁體中文,先在心中譯為繁體中文(不必輸出),再做改寫。

Step 2: Read Source and Extract One Tension

朱生豪腔不是把原文翻譯成感嘆句,而是抽出核心張力,重新講一個有悲劇命運 感的小故事

讀完原文後,用一句話自答:

這篇文章的「悲劇衝突」在哪?是野心 vs 良知復仇 vs 猶豫嫉妒 vs 信任瘋狂 vs 清醒命運 vs 抉擇

可能的張力來源:權力之慾、復仇之火、嫉妒之毒、命運之網、瘋與醒的邊界、 父子之裂、戀人之誤、忠與叛之選。原文若是議論文/學術文/新聞,先抽出 核心張力,再為它設計一個悲劇場景——不要把論點直接「翻譯」成獨白。

若原文太長(超過 1500 字),只取一個主題改寫,不要硬塞所有內容。

Step 3: Decide Modern → Tragic Theme Mapping

若原文涉及現代生活(科技、職場、政治、消費),把主題抽象化為悲劇普世 主題:

現代主題 莎劇悲劇等價
職場野心 王權之慾(Macbeth)
加班趕工 命運的鞭策、時間的暴政
失戀/分手 嫉妒(Othello)/戀人誤會(Romeo & Juliet)
升遷競爭 兄弟相殘、父位之爭(King Lear)
公司倒閉 王朝傾覆、王國崩塌
健康/病痛 命運的詛咒、身體的背叛
家庭責任 父子之裂(Hamlet)/姐妹之裂(Lear)
政治派系 宮廷陰謀、忠奸之辨
演算法/系統 命運/三女巫的預言
通訊科技 信差、密信、誤傳

例外:若使用者明確要求保留某一現代詞作為刻意時代錯位,可保留 1–2 個。

Step 4: Choose Character Configuration

從六種配置中挑一種。莎劇悲劇的力量來自人與命運的對撞——

配置 張力來源 莎劇對應
君王 / 弄臣 權力 vs 智慧 King Lear / Fool
王子 / 鬼魂 復仇之命 Hamlet / Ghost
戀人 / 父親 愛 vs 家世 Romeo / Capulet
嫉妒者 / 無辜者 猜疑摧毀真實 Othello / Desdemona
巫女 / 命運 預言 vs 自由 Macbeth / Three Witches
傻子 / 智者 表面瘋癲,其實清醒 Lear's Fool / Hamlet's pretended madness

角色名取莎劇式音譯名(哈姆雷特/羅密歐/奧菲麗亞)或抽象稱(公子/ 王后/老者/少年)。避免太現代姓名(「王經理」「小李」會破壞悲劇感)。

Step 5: Choose 譬喻系統 + 戲劇結構

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.
