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

novel-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/novel_ops.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AI 小说 / 网文连载创作

一句灵感 → 世界观/人设 → 三级大纲 → 逐章正文。核心是长篇一致性: 用「文件即真相 + 按需加载」——AI 不靠上下文记忆,每写一章只加载相关切片, 状态全落文件、可 diff、可续写。确定性 IO(搭骨架/进度/机械查 AI 味)走 scripts/novel_ops.py创意(设定/大纲/正文)由你 LLM 完成

只做单段风格改写见 style-transfer;只做润色去 AI 感见 text-polisher; 只做通用文章见 social-content;发知乎见 skill-zhihu-publisher

产物结构(outputs/书名/

bible/    world.md characters.md voice.md canon.md   ← 硬事实(写每章必读)
outline/  overview.md volumes.md chapters.md          ← 三级大纲

脚本路径(相对项目根):skills/openclaw/novel-writer/scripts/novel_ops.py。 字数校验复用:skills/shared/scripts/wordcount.py

执行步骤(按对话选对应子流程,不必每次全跑)

A. 立项(首次)

  1. 搭骨架python skills/openclaw/novel-writer/scripts/novel_ops.py scaffold --book "<书名>" (生成 bible/outline/state/chapters 模板,已存在的文件不覆盖)。
  2. 定世界观 + 人设 + 文风:读 references/web-novel-methodology.mdreferences/platform-specs.md, 据题材写满 bible/world.md(力量体系/规则/硬约束)、bible/characters.md(主角+关键配角:身份/外貌/性格/目标/关系)、 bible/voice.md(视角/时态/句式节奏/用词偏好 + 本书禁用词表)。设定要可执行(能约束后续正文),不写空话。

B. 大纲(三级)

  1. overview → volumes → chapters:写 outline/overview.md(一句话卖点+核心冲突+主线+结局向)、 outline/volumes.md(分卷 arc:每卷目标/转折/卷末高潮)、outline/chapters.md(章节目录表:标题+一句话钩子+涉及伏笔)。 大纲底座可参考 skill-article-outline,但必须扩成网文三级结构 + 伏笔埋点表(登记进 bible/canon.md)。

C. 黄金三章(前 3 章单独强化)

  1. references/web-novel-methodology.md 的黄金三章模板,把前三章的开局钩子、爽点、代入感、追读悬念拉满 (第 1 章 3 秒内给冲突/金手指信号;每章末留强钩子)。这三章决定留存,值得单独打磨。

D. 写单章(连载主循环)

  1. 只加载相关切片(不塞全书):读 bible/(全部,是硬约束)+ outline/chapters.md 里本章那行 + state/summary.md(前情提要)+ state/character-state.md 里相关角色。
  2. (可选)先出场景卡:复杂章节按 references/scene-card-schema.md 先列场景卡(角色/地点/冲突/story value 涨落/情绪/出口)再写正文。
  3. 写正文chapters/<三位数>.md:遵守 bible/voice.md 文风、章末强钩子。
  4. 字数门禁:把正文喂 python3 skills/shared/scripts/wordcount.py check --target <平台目标字数> --tolerance 0.15 -f chapters/<NNN>.md (知乎盐选/番茄单章常 2000–4000,见 platform-specs),不达标按提示增删。
  5. 去 AI 味:先跑 python skills/openclaw/novel-writer/scripts/novel_ops.py slopcheck -f chapters/<NNN>.md 机械扫(AI 味词/过度连接词/重复句首),命中处改写;再整章过一遍 text-polisher(去 AI 感模式)。

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.
