Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01105 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00442 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00221 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
velith-editing 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 1mo 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Velith — Editing Pipeline and Style Conventions
Full reference: skills/loom/quality-bar.md. Editing means rewriting the manuscript in place; every stage snapshots drafts/ first (velith.mjs snapshot) and files a report of what changed.
Stages
| # | Stage | Rewrites | Report |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Fact check (nonfiction, technical, academic; fiction with real-world claims) | Yes: unverifiable claims removed | edits/00-fact-check.md, edits/claim-ledger.md |
| 1 | Editorial assessment: promise delivery, pacing map, redundancies, voice consistency, five-axis score, intervention plan | No | edits/01-assessment.md |
| 2 | Developmental: restructure (author approval), chapter rewrites via chapter-writer, deepen; then continuity-editor | Yes | edits/02-developmental.md, edits/continuity-report.md |
| 3 | Line edit: style-doctor measures + rewrites; then meaning-level pass | Yes | edits/03-line-edit.md, edits/style-report.md |
| 4 | Copy edit: names, terms, numbers, punctuation, 띄어쓰기, headings, citations | Yes | edits/04-copy-edit.md |
| 5 | Proofread; set chapters status: final |
Yes | edits/05-proofread.md |
| 6 | Readiness: beta-reader cold read; PASS or REVISE with fix list (max two loops, then author) | No | edits/06-readiness-report.md → edits/readiness-report.md; on PASS edits/editorial-report.md |
Five-axis rubric (1-10)
Voice and prose · Structure and pacing · Depth (character / argument) · Specificity and grounding · Reader experience. Readiness PASS: every axis ≥ 7, mean ≥ 7.5, no put-down point in chapters 1-3.
The tells that matter in 2026
Structural: uniform paragraph length; punch-line paragraph endings; tricolons; symmetrical scenes; "not X but Y"; balanced antithesis; reflective codas; em-dash cascades; rhetorical question chains; summary-then-scene; naming the theme.
Emotional (fiction, memoir): precise self-knowledge; physical-reaction inventories; universal kindness; dialogue that answers; "something shifted"; tidy resolution; interchangeable voices; sensory garnish.
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.

velith-editing is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository epicsagas/Velith (37 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,105 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
