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 | $0.00101 | $0.09737 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.03895 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01947 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00974 |
Grade A, and why
novelist-analyst 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 2mo 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.

Novelist Analyst Skill
Purpose
Analyze events through the disciplinary lens of narrative fiction, applying established storytelling frameworks (three-act structure, hero's journey, character arc theory), narrative theory, and literary analytical methods to understand human motivations, dramatic stakes, thematic resonance, and story coherence in real-world events.
When to Use This Skill
- Leadership Analysis: Understanding leaders as characters with motivations, flaws, and arcs
- Organizational Narratives: Analyzing company stories, culture shifts, transformations
- Crisis Narratives: Understanding how crises unfold as dramatic stories
- Cultural Moments: Analyzing cultural events through narrative lenses
- Conflict Analysis: Understanding human dimensions of conflicts
- Change Stories: Transformation narratives in organizations or societies
- Communication Analysis: Evaluating how stories are told and what they reveal
Core Philosophy: Narrative Thinking
Narrative analysis rests on fundamental principles:
Stories Reveal Truth: Beneath surface events lie deeper narratives that reveal motivations, conflicts, and meaning.
Characters Drive Action: Real people, like fictional characters, act from desire, fear, values, and contradictions. Understanding character illuminates events.
Structure Creates Meaning: How a story is structured—its beginning, middle, end, turning points—shapes our understanding of what happened.
Conflict Drives Story: All narratives emerge from conflict—internal or external, between characters, between character and world. Identifying core conflicts reveals what's truly at stake.
Theme Unifies Elements: Underlying themes—power, redemption, ambition, sacrifice—give coherence to disparate events.
Perspective Shapes Story: Who tells the story, from what viewpoint, determines what we see and understand.
Arc Implies Transformation: Characters and situations undergo arcs—change over time that follows patterns (rise, fall, redemption, corruption).
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.
