    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

text.criticize 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

  • Review and criticize the text (markdown, blog posts, documentation)
  • Identify mistakes and improvement opportunities, focusing on factual errors, rather than style suggestions
  • Propose concrete improvements to content, flow, visual clarity, pacing, and audience fit

Workflow

Read the Material

  • Read the text passed by the user carefully

Identify and Rank Mistakes

  • Identify mistakes in the passed text

Definition

  • Criteria for mistakes:

    • Factual inaccuracy (wrong information, outdated claims)
    • Logical contradiction or inconsistency
    • Technical error (code doesn't work, command is wrong, API is misrepresented)
    • Broken reference (link is dead, file path is wrong, name is misspelled)
    • Only report issues you are absolutely certain about
  • Ranking severity:

    • High: Misleads reader or causes confusion
    • Medium: Could improve clarity or accuracy
    • Low: Minor inconsistency or incomplete statement

TODOs

  • Ignore the TODOs that already exist in the text

Suggest Improvements

  • Identify opportunities to improve clarity, structure, or completeness without changing facts

Definition

  • Types of improvements:

    • Clarity: Making text easier to understand
    • Completeness: Adding missing context or examples
    • Consistency: Aligning terminology or formatting
    • Readability: Breaking up dense sections or improving flow
  • Ranking severity:

    • High: Significantly improves comprehension or prevents misunderstanding
    • Medium: Moderately improves clarity or adds useful detail
    • Low: Minor improvement in readability or polish

Write the Results

  • The output format is a vim cfile following .claude/skills/cfile.rules.md

    <full path file>:<LINE_NUMBER>:1 [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW] Short description of error
    <full path file>:<LINE_NUMBER>:1 [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW] Why this is wrong and what the correct statement should be
    ...
    
  • Example

    msml610/lectures_source/README.md:12 [HIGH] Claims "pip install X" but pip package is named "X-lib"
    msml610/lectures_source/README.md:5 [HIGH] Add example of basic usage after the description
    helpers/docs.md:8 [MEDIUM] Link to API docs is outdated (2023 version, current is 2024)

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.
