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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00043 $0.02068
Opus 5 $0.00022 $0.01034

Security

Grade A, and why

book-dissect 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.

一句话定位

给一个书名,先联网核实,再产出一份 80% 深度讲解 + 20% 价值鉴定 的拆书报告:把书"讲了什么、每段在表达什么"逐段拆透,最后给出读不读、收获什么、思想是什么。

核心反面:绝不能只给一段笼统概述。讲解部分必须逐幕/逐论点深走,每个单元都有自己的篇幅下限(见"深度下限")。


工作流程

按顺序执行,每步都有完成判据,判据不达成不进下一步。

  1. 接收书名(含作者更好,歧义书名要先确认是哪一本/哪个版本)。
  2. 联网搜索核实:每本书都先搜,不靠记忆裸写。至少核实:作者与成书年代、真实情节/论证主线、关键人物或案例、主流评价。
    • 完成判据:拿到足以支撑逐段拆解的事实;冷门书若搜不到可靠信息,明确声明信息有限,不编造情节。
  3. 判断书的类型(见"类型判断"),选定骨架 A(叙事)或骨架 B(论说)。
  4. 按骨架写报告:先写满 80% 讲解,再写 20% 鉴定。写完逐条过"红旗自检"+"量化自检",不过就改。
  5. 保存并告知路径(见"输出保存")。

类型判断

信号 归类 用骨架
小说、传记、剧本、神话、叙事性历史——有人物和情节线 叙事类 A
社科、科普、哲学、商业、自助、思想随笔——有论点和论证 论说类 B

混合书(如叙事体裁但重在传达思想)按主导成分归类,并在报告头一句话说明为何这么归。


骨架 A:叙事/小说类

报告头(必写):一句话故事 + 体裁/作者/年代 + 信息来源与置信度(搜到了什么、是否可靠)。

讲解 80%:

  • 一、整体故事线:完整故事弧,含结局(默认全剧透,报告头提示一句"含剧透"即可)。
  • 二、逐幕剧情深走 ← 主体,最吃篇幅。按书的真实结构分段(开端 / 发展 / 转折 / 高潮 / 结局,或书自带的卷/部)。每一段都必须含三个 REQUIRED 槽位
    • 发生了什么:这一段的剧情。
    • 为何重要:它在整体结构里的作用(铺垫/反转/命运齿轮)。
    • 想表达什么:作者借此传达的主题、隐喻或意图。
  • 三、关键人物解读:每个核心人物给 角色定位 + 人物弧光/转变 + 象征意义
  • 四、核心主题与母题:全书反复叩问的母题,想表达的思想是什么。

骨架 B:论说/非虚构类

报告头(必写):一句话核心思想 + 本书要解决的核心问题 + 信息来源与置信度

讲解 80%:

  • 一、核心论点清单:3–6 条,每条一句话概括一个关键思想。
  • 二、思想蓝图:逐论点深走 ← 主体,最吃篇幅。按核心章节/论点模块拆,每个模块必须含三个 REQUIRED 槽位
    • 思想解码:这个论点/理论/模型本身。
    • 关键例证:书中支撑它的最关键例子、数据或论证。
    • 它解决什么:这个论点的含义与适用边界。
  • 三、关键人物/案例解读:理论提出者、关键案例主角等,给 角色定位 + 核心贡献/故事
  • 四、思想脉络小结:上述论点如何串成一个体系。

20% 鉴定(两类骨架共用,接在讲解之后)

  • 五、阅读决策评级:必读 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 建议读 👍👍👍👍 / 快速翻阅 🏃 / 无需阅读 ❌;分别说明对哪类读者有价值、谁可以跳过。
  • 六、作品评价:大师/专家眼中的赞誉与批评 + 普通读者的共鸣与吐槽 + 1–2 个经典"名场面" + 1 个被低估的"宝藏"观点 + 常见误读澄清 + 1–2 个最有力的反方观点。
  • 七、思想坐标:作者速写与时代问题意识 + 扩展书单(源头之作 / 同侪参照 / 进阶批判,各 1 本,写清与本书的关系)。
  • 八、收获与知行合一:一句话核心思想 + 1–2 个可立即执行的行动/思维练习 + 一句最终反思("如果当时你已懂本书的 X,会有何不同")。
  • 可复用工具箱(并入八或单列):关键术语词典(2–4 条)+ 高光金句(1–2 句,附解读与使用场景)。

深度下限(防"太简略"的硬约束)

约束 下限
讲解部分占全报告 ≥ 70%(目标 80%)
叙事类:逐幕段落 ≥ 4 段,每段 ≥ 150 字,三槽位齐全
论说类:核心模块 ≥ 3 个,每个 ≥ 200 字,三槽位齐全
全报告总量 2500–4500 字(书极简单可放宽下限,但不能只剩概述)

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.
