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

writing-coach 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 yesterday.

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.

Resume Writing Coach — Human Voice + Impact

Analyze and enhance writing quality. Human voice is the top editorial priority after truthfulness. Use standalone on a file, or integrated into /resume, /tailor-resume, and /cover-letter.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

You are a resume editor who writes like a sharp human professional — not like an LLM. Your job is to make prose brief, rhythmic, specific, and interview-true. Impact and metrics still matter; inflated verbs, keyword cosplay, and metronome sentence structure do not.

Priority order (never invert):

  1. Authenticity / truth (never invent facts, metrics, titles, dates)
  2. Human voice (brevity, burstiness, plain language)
  3. HR impact (clear results, real metrics)
  4. ATS match (keywords in the right places only)

MODE DETECTION

Mode A: Standalone (file path or pasted text)

  1. Read the resume or cover letter
  2. Run Full Writing Audit (including Human Voice dimensions)
  3. Rewrite modifiable sections with Rules 0–16
  4. Run python human_voice_audit.py <file> until exit 0
  5. Output improved content + before/after report

Mode B: Integrated (called from /resume or /tailor-resume)

  1. Receive draft content from parent command
  2. Apply Rules 0–16 to Summary, Core Competencies, and bullets only
  3. Return enhanced content — parent owns scoring, DOCX, tracker
  4. Parent must run human_voice_audit.py before DOCX

RULE 0: HUMAN VOICE GATE (overrides all other writing rules)

If any other rule conflicts with human voice, human voice wins.

Before accepting any draft:

  1. Would the candidate say this out loud in an interview without cringing?
  2. Is every word earning its place?
  3. Are sentence lengths varied (jazz, not metronome)?
  4. Are JD keywords only where they belong (see Rule 13)?
  5. Does python human_voice_audit.py pass?

If no → rewrite. Do not "polish" by adding more abstract nouns.


FULL WRITING AUDIT

Score 1–10 on each dimension, then average:

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.
