.claude/skills/proofread/SKILL.md

proofread is a skill for Claude Code from AlessandroCaforio/Academic-Writing. It costs 15 tokens per session (150 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A thesis chapter proofreading workflow that checks grammar, writing style, clarity, and transitions. A thesis chapter is one major section of an academic research document.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for proofreading a named chapter file and returning findings grouped by severity.
Why use it?
It finds writing problems that can make an argument difficult to read before the chapter is submitted.

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

proofread 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.

What it actually says

Proofread Chapter

Proofread the specified thesis chapter. The argument should be a chapter filename (e.g., 05_results or 04_methodology.tex).

Instructions

  1. Read the chapter file at thesis/chapters/$ARGUMENTS.tex (add .tex if not provided)
  2. Follow the proofreader agent instructions to review grammar, style, clarity, and transitions
  3. Return a structured report with findings sorted by severity (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)

If no argument is provided, ask which chapter to proofread.

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.
