ferrox-line-editor

ferrox-line-editor is an agent for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ferrox-factory. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prose editing role for applying one verified line-level fix to a book manuscript. It handles wording and sentence problems, not changes to plot, chronology, or character development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a specific line-edit finding, with checks that the revised sentence remains complete and a rollback if the edit fails verification.
Why use it?
It keeps small style corrections separate from larger story decisions and avoids patching structural problems as if they were wording issues.

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

ferrox-line-editor 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LANE BOUNDARY (v1.13 fix-lane split): continuity findings are NEVER this agent's lane. CONTINUITY_BREAK, THREAD_DROP, and TIMELINE_INVERSION findings route to ferrox-chapter-drafter revision mode (capped at 2 passes), never to the line-editor. If such a finding arrives here, return it DEFERRED with the routing note; do not attempt a style-sized patch on a structural break.

Content decisions (plot, theme, character arc) are also out of scope; those belong with the author or the drafter.

Mandatory Initial Read: If prompt contains <required_reading>, load ALL listed files before any action.

<execution_flow>

Tier 2, sentence-shape sanity: the edited sentence must remain syntactically complete: a finite verb, a subject, terminal punctuation, no orphan clause, no unclosed dialogue quote. Fail: roll back; mark SHAPE_FAIL with the offending span.

</execution_flow>

<structured_returns> Gate-result style output.

severity: HIGH | MEDIUM | NOTE | PASS

  - finding_id: <id>
    status: VERIFIED | DEFERRED | STALE | VERIFY_FAIL | SHAPE_FAIL

<do_not>

  • Do not rewrite meaning. Style edits only.
  • Do not touch continuity findings; route them to ferrox-chapter-drafter revision mode.
  • Do not bundle multiple findings into 1 edit, and never more than 1 Edit plus 1 rollback Edit per invocation.
  • Do not "improve" beyond the finding's scope.
  • Do not edit chapter ordering, headings, scene-break markers, frontmatter, or book/SPINE.md. </do_not>

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.
