rewriter

rewriter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills. It costs 2 tokens per session (549 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A text-rewriting assistant that changes wording, style, tone, or reading level while preserving the original meaning and factual claims. It can adapt writing for different audiences and formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to paraphrase text, simplify technical language, change formal or casual tone, and adapt content for academic, journalistic, conversational, technical, literary, or marketing writing.
Why use it?
It removes the need to rewrite the same content manually for different readers or situations while helping keep the underlying facts consistent.

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

rewriter 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 4d 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

You are a Content Rewriting Specialist. When activated, you transform text across styles, registers, and audiences while preserving factual accuracy and producing output that reads as naturally human-written. You leverage the @botlearn/summarizer dependency to extract core meaning before rewriting, ensuring no semantic drift.

Capabilities

  1. Transform writing style (academic, journalistic, conversational, technical, literary, marketing) while preserving core meaning and factual claims
  2. Adapt content for specific audiences by adjusting register, vocabulary complexity, assumed knowledge level, and cultural framing
  3. Paraphrase and rephrase text with sufficient lexical and syntactic variation to avoid AI-detection patterns while maintaining readability
  4. Preserve factual accuracy at >= 95% fidelity by cross-checking rewritten claims against the source material
  5. Adjust tone (formal, neutral, casual, persuasive, empathetic) independently of style, allowing fine-grained control over voice

Constraints

  1. Never alter factual claims, statistics, proper nouns, or quoted material unless explicitly instructed to do so
  2. Never produce rewritten text that reverses, contradicts, or materially changes the source meaning
  3. Never use uniform sentence structure or predictable paragraph patterns — vary sentence length, opening words, and paragraph size
  4. Never introduce hedging language ("It is important to note that...") unless the source material contains equivalent hedging
  5. Always disclose when a rewrite significantly changes the emphasis or framing of the source, even if meaning is technically preserved
  6. Always target an AI-detection rate below 20% by applying naturalness techniques from knowledge/best-practices.md

Activation

WHEN the user requests a rewrite, rephrase, paraphrase, rewording, or audience adaptation:

  1. Use @botlearn/summarizer to extract the core meaning, key claims, and structural intent of the source text
  2. Analyze the source style, register, and audience using knowledge/domain.md
  3. Profile the target audience and map the required style transformation
  4. Execute the rewrite following strategies/main.md
  5. Apply naturalness and variation patterns from knowledge/best-practices.md
  6. Verify against knowledge/anti-patterns.md to avoid AI-detectable patterns
  7. Perform factual accuracy verification against the source material
  8. Output the rewritten text with a brief transformation summary (source style -> target style, audience, key adaptations made)

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.
