A guided workflow for creating a new Skyrim game modification with the AutoMod command-line tool. It can create the mod plugin and add records such as weapons, spells, armor, characters, books, and perks.

It is for starting a Skyrim mod, creating its plugin file, and adding supported game content with specified properties.

It gives a repeatable sequence for building a mod instead of requiring the creator to remember each setup and data-entry command. It also requires previewing changes before writing them.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00030	$0.00994
Opus 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00398
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00199
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00099

Security

Grade A, and why

create-mod 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 23d 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.

Create New Mod Workflow

Build a mod step-by-step using the AutoMod CLI. Always use --json on all commands. Always use --dry-run first on write commands.

Step 1: Create the Plugin

bash tools/automod-cli.sh esp create "<ModName>" --output "Data" --author "<author>" --description "<desc>" --json

Use --light for ESL-flagged plugins (if under 2048 records).

Step 2: Add Records

Use the appropriate esp add-* command for each record:

Weapons: esp add-weapon <esp> <editorId> --type <type> --model <preset> --damage <n> --dry-run --json
Spells: esp add-spell <esp> <editorId> --type <type> --effect <preset> --magnitude <n> --dry-run --json
Armor: esp add-armor <esp> <editorId> --type <type> --slot <slot> --model <preset> --dry-run --json
NPCs: esp add-npc <esp> <editorId> --name "<name>" --level <n> --dry-run --json
Books: esp add-book <esp> <editorId> --name "<name>" --text "<content>" --dry-run --json
Perks: esp add-perk <esp> <editorId> --name "<name>" --effect <preset> --dry-run --json
Globals: esp add-global <esp> <editorId> --type float --value <n> --dry-run --json
Also available: esp add-quest and esp set-property (arguments: bash tools/automod-cli.sh esp --help --json)

Important: Weapons and armor REQUIRE --model or they'll be invisible. Spells REQUIRE --effect or they'll do nothing.

Always preview with --dry-run first, then remove it after user approves.

Step 3: Add Scripts (if needed)

Write the .psc source file
Compile: bash tools/automod-cli.sh papyrus compile <source> --output Data/Scripts --headers tools/automod/skyrim-script-headers --json (Or use Caprica: from Data/Scripts/Source, with a BARE filename (a path makes Caprica fail with a namespacing Fatal Error): "<game root>/tools/Caprica/Caprica.exe" --game skyrim -f TESV_Papyrus_Flags.flg -i . -i "<base-game .psc sources>" -o "<game root>/Data/Scripts" MyScript.psc. The second -i is REQUIRED whenever the base-game sources are not in the current folder (e.g. <game root>/Data/Source/Scripts): without it any script extending a vanilla type fails with "Unable to resolve type". One -i per further import folder.)
Attach to quest: bash tools/automod-cli.sh esp attach-script <esp> --quest <editorId> --script <name> --json
Auto-fill properties: bash tools/automod-cli.sh esp auto-fill <esp> --quest <editorId> --script <name> --script-dir Data/Scripts/Source --data-folder Data --json

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.
