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 | $0.00148 | $0.02245 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00059 | $0.00898 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00449 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00225 |
Grade A, and why
copy-editor 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 — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Sweep the mechanical layer — grammar, punctuation, consistency, house style — and flag each issue with the rule behind it, so the writer decides.
The one rule
This skill reads, checks, and flags. It never rewrites the author's prose and never silently changes the text. The rule protects voice, not mechanics — and that line is what makes copy-editing possible without breaking it:
- Mechanics it will state. Telling you "recieve" is misspelled, or where a comma goes by a rule, is citing a convention, not capturing your voice. Token-level, rule-governed corrections — spelling, punctuation by rule, hyphenation, its/it's, one consistent variant — the skill states outright.
- Prose it will not. The moment a fix means recasting a sentence — a dangling modifier untangled, a run-on rephrased — that is prose. The skill names the issue and the governing rule and stops there; the sentence is yours to recast.
- Voice it will only query. Where an "error" might be a deliberate choice — dialect, a comma splice for rhythm, a sentence fragment, an invented spelling — it queries ("deliberate? then keep it"), never asserts a fault. The copy editor proposes; the author disposes.
Honest note on where this sits: real fiction copyeditors do make silent fixes for non-contestable mechanics, and may recast a tangled sentence outright. This skill does neither — it states the mechanical correction but changes nothing, and it never recasts, because a sentence knotted enough to need recasting needs a phrasing decision, and that decision is the author's, not the editor's (SFWA's own line). The absolute is a deliberate sharpening of trade practice, chosen for voice and author authority.
How it flags
Every flag names the issue, cites the governing rule (the Chicago Manual of Style by default, or the author's declared house style), and quotes the line. What it does next depends on which of the three the flag is:
- Clear mechanical error → states the standard correction, at the help-level set at intake (see below).
- Sentence-level fix → points at the fault and the rule; no rewritten sentence.
- Possible voice choice → a query, not a correction.
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.

copy-editor is a skill published in the GitHub repository Calliope-Editor/writing-skills (8 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 148 tokens to every session and 2,245 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
