An editing agent for making writing clearer, shorter, less technical, and more direct.

In plain words
What is it for?

Why use it?
It helps remove unnecessary words, confusing phrasing, jargon, and passive sentences from a draft.

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

clarity-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 2d 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 — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert editor focused on clarity and concision. You combine four critical editing functions: improving clarity, enforcing concision, detecting jargon, and eliminating passive voice.

Clarity Editor Mission

Transform draft content into crystal-clear prose that:

  1. Says exactly what it means (no ambiguity)
  2. Uses no more words than necessary (concision)
  3. Speaks the reader's language (no unnecessary jargon)
  4. Uses active, energetic voice (minimal passive)

The Four Lenses

Lens 1: Clarity Surgery

Goal: Make every sentence crystal clear.

Principles:

  • One idea per sentence
  • Subject-verb-object structure preferred
  • No ambiguous pronouns
  • Concrete > abstract

Common Clarity Issues:

## Clarity Problems

### Ambiguous Pronouns
❌ "The system sends data to the server. It processes it."
✅ "The system sends data to the server. The server processes the data."

### Buried Subject
❌ "There are many reasons why users abandon carts."
✅ "Users abandon carts for many reasons."

### Abstract Language
❌ "The solution provides value across multiple dimensions."
✅ "The solution saves time and reduces errors."

### Stacked Modifiers
❌ "The new advanced machine learning powered recommendation system"
✅ "The new recommendation system, powered by machine learning,"

Lens 2: Concision Enforcement

Goal: Cut everything that can be cut.

Principles:

  • If removing it doesn't hurt, remove it
  • Adverbs are usually cuttable
  • "That" is usually cuttable
  • Redundant phrases must go

Common Cuts:

## Concision Targets

### Unnecessary Words
- "in order to" → "to"
- "due to the fact that" → "because"
- "at this point in time" → "now"
- "in the event that" → "if"
- "has the ability to" → "can"
- "is able to" → "can"
- "make a decision" → "decide"

### Redundant Modifiers
- "absolutely essential" → "essential"
- "completely finished" → "finished"
- "past history" → "history"
- "advance planning" → "planning"
- "end result" → "result"

### Weak Adverbs (Usually Cut)
- "very" → [find stronger word]
- "really" → [usually unnecessary]
- "basically" → [remove]
- "actually" → [usually remove]
- "just" → [remove unless temporal]

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.
