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.

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 | $0.00035 | $0.00480 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00192 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
writing:rewrite 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 10d 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
Rewrite
Load the writing:writing skill for the style rules, then rewrite the input to match them. Keep every piece of functional information and change only voice, word choice, and sentence structure. On top of that skill, prefer specific verbs ("generates a report" over "handles report generation") and keep the tone plain and even.
When the input is the user's own writing rather than model output, first note to yourself its core point and its voice: vocabulary, cadence, bluntness, humor, admitted uncertainty, digressions. Then make the smallest edit that clears the tells. Strip the voice entirely only when it is a model's.
Input
$ARGUMENTS
If $ARGUMENTS is a path to an existing file, read the file. Otherwise treat it as the text itself. If empty, ask for the text to rewrite (you may offer to read it from the clipboard).
Lint
Lint the draft with Vale before and after rewriting. It prints one alert per line (path:line:col:check:message):
vale --config="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../.vale.ini" --output=line path/to/file.md
For a message body (PR, issue, comment), pipe it on stdin with --ext=.prbody, or --ext=.commitmsg for a commit message.
Re-run until every alert is clean except marketing verb. Treat those as advisory: replace the ones that read as promotional in context, since the live hook objects only to a high weighted sum.
Check
Once Vale is clean, answer the questions in references/check.md with the rewrite beside the original. Fix what fails and re-check until every answer passes.
Output
Display the rewritten text as plain prose, in a code block only when the input was code.
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.

writing:rewrite is a skill published in the GitHub repository bendrucker/claude (18 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 480 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
