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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00208 | $0.02004 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00104 | $0.01002 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00401 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00200 |
Grade A, and why
good-writing 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 — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Good writing rules
Ported (translated + condensed) from the Russian-language good-writing skill in
mikeshu2001/content-factory.
The original is the source of truth for Russian-specific grammar rules; this port
keeps every transferable rule in English. Attribution: mikeshu2001. The original
files are not vendored verbatim because this repo is English-only on disk
(docs/developing-ralphy.md).
How to use this skill
This is not a list of bans to tick off. It is a toolset for moments of doubt. The goal: text should explain the way a person explains to a colleague over coffee. Not like a manual, not like marketing, not like an academic paper.
Before editing anything, ask:
- What does this phrase carry for the reader? If nothing — delete it. If it duplicates what was already said — delete it.
- What role does a construction play before you remove it by rule? A formally "banned" construction often holds an important nuance. Understand why it is there first, then decide.
- Does the majority of readers need this fact? A detail useful to 5% of the audience that does not help the rest understand — cut.
- The main test after ANY edit: read the paragraph aloud and ask "would a native speaker say this to a colleague?" If not, the edit is bad even if it is rule-correct. Rewrite the sentence whole; do not patch one word.
- Symptom vs cause. Filler in one phrase usually means the whole paragraph is overloaded. Clean the paragraph, not the sentence. A "not X but Y" contrast usually means you have not found the affirmative form — find it.
- Judge the block, not the sentence. After any edit re-read the whole block. If the edit did not improve the block as a whole, it did not happen.
If a construction is allowed by the rules but sounds clumsy — rewrite it. If it is banned but sounds natural and precise — keep it. Rules are for doubt, not a final judge.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

good-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository alecs5am/ralphy (132 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 208 tokens to every session and 2,004 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. 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.
