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

fable-writer 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.

What it actually says

寓言写作技能

围绕用户提供的 {concept}(一个具体的学术或日常概念,也可以是一条原理、一个效应),写一则寓言来完整地解释它。

输出约束

  • 三段式输出:寓言正文 → 概念解析 → 检验问题。严格按以下"输出格式"章节的模板交付。
  • 不预先说明:不要在开头说"下面是一个寓言"、"这是一个关于X的故事"。直接开始写正文。

一、寓言体感

  • 篇幅:1000字以内。精炼,靠一个核心场景、一两次转折把意思撑起来。
  • 世界观:虚构,可拟人化——动物、植物、器物开口说话都行;可以不写实,也可以落在日常微观场景中。
  • 角色:不超过三个,最好两个。角色关系或互动本身承载寓意。
  • 揭示节奏:全程不出现概念名称,不使用该领域术语。只在接近结尾时,才让读者隐约意识到在讲什么。
  • 叙事纪律:让情节和细节承载意义,角色不该当解说员。

二、防套路自检

动笔前逐项检查,必须避开以下所有黑名单

意象黑名单

钟、河流、镜子、迷宫、织布机、地图、灯塔、棋盘、回声、影子、沙漏、风、蜡烛、种子、桥、星辰、蝴蝶、蛛网。

地名黑名单

不要写"回声城""记忆之村""遗忘之海""寂静谷"这类文艺化虚构地名。用普通地理名词,或不命名。

结构黑名单

  • 旅行者求教智者
  • 村庄异象 → 众人顿悟
  • 孩童一句话点醒大人
  • 师徒辩难
  • 临终遗言

角色黑名单

钟表匠、图书管理员、隐士、说书人、老船夫、酿酒师、铁匠、抄经人。

开头黑名单

不要写"从前有个地方……""某天某人遇见某事……""在很远的山里……"。直接进入场景。

三、切入角度(鼓励方向,可组合使用)

  • 非人类视角:工具、动物、植物、机构在自述。
  • 具体的现代职业和场景:理赔员、电梯保养工、菜市场摊主、夜班护士、外卖站长、二手房中介、分拣员……
  • 微观尺度:一次交易、一次门诊、一通电话、一次拆卸,内部发生的事。

核心原则:让故事的具体性把概念裹住。

四、输出格式

第一部分:寓言正文

直接输出故事,不加标题、不加引导语。

第二部分:概念解析

另起一段,完成:

  1. 讲清楚这个概念叫什么、属于哪个流派或学科、核心定义是什么。
  2. 逐一对应:故事里的哪些元素映射到概念的哪个部分。

第三部分:检验问题

向用户提两个问题:

  1. 理解检验:检验用户是否真正理解了概念的核心,而不只是记住情节。问题要具体可答。
  2. 迁移检验:检验用户能否把概念迁移到相关领域,让用户自己举例回答。问题要具体可答。

不要写"你怎么看待这个概念"这样空泛的开放题。

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.
