This is petar-djukic/writing-skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on writing-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything writing-skills configures →

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-skills AGENTS.md 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 5d 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

Repository Instructions

Assistant configuration is canonical under .claude/. Codex discovers this repository's skills from .agents/skills/ (generated). Regenerate every surface with scripts/sync-mirrors.sh; verify with --check.

Skills and commands

Codex discovers both from .agents/skills/.

Reusable skills (19): accent-dial, audit-references, bake-off, cold-review, critic-apply, critic-panel, filter-tells, humanize, inject-vernacular, match-outline, match-structure, match-voice, patent-disclosure, pattern-language, reverse-outline, tighten-style, tune-anchors, update-references, voice-critic.

Python-backed skills run in a pixi environment that ships beside them: run .agents/scripts/ensure-env.sh once per machine, then invoke scripts with pixi run --manifest-path .agents/pixi.toml python <script>. API credentials resolve through the repository's gitignored .secrets/ directory, never from the skills tree — see the secrets rule below.

Conventions

These are summaries; the canonical rule files hold the detail.

  • The .secrets/ Directory Contract — API credentials belong to the repository you are working in, never to the skills. See .claude/rules/secrets.md.
  • Technical Document Types — We catalog the document types of standards bodies and engineering practice. See .claude/rules/technical-document-types.md.
  • The writing-voice/ Directory Contract — Any writing repository may carry a writing-voice/ directory of exemplar samples that define the target voice for text generated in that repository. See .claude/rules/writing-voice.md.

Before committing, run the repository's consistency check if it defines one, and commit after each round of edits rather than accumulating them.

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.
