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 11d 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proofread

Fix grammar and improve writing in the specified files while keeping the author's original voice intact.

Files and instructions: $ARGUMENTS

Core principles to apply

  • Fix grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, but do not rewrite the author's style
  • Always use British English (e.g. "colour", "organisation", "behaviour", "analyse")
  • Never use dashes (em dashes, en dashes, or similar). Restructure into separate sentences or use commas, colons, or parentheses instead
  • Keep the tone direct and concise, but never rude or disrespectful
  • Do not over-polish. The writing should feel human and relatable, not robotic or corporate
  • Preserve the author's sentence rhythm, word choices, and personality. If the original is casual, keep it casual. If it is blunt, keep it blunt
  • Do not add filler words, hedging language, or unnecessary qualifiers
  • Do not introduce AI-typical patterns: no "it's important to note", "in order to", "leverage", "utilise", "delve into", "it's worth mentioning", or similar

How to interpret arguments

The arguments are free-form and flexible. They may contain:

  • File references of any type and in any format: @README.md, docs/guide.md, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Additional natural language instructions alongside file references, such as:
    • "focus on the introduction section"
    • "also fix the comments in the code"
    • "keep technical terms as they are"

Parse the arguments to identify which files to proofread and what additional instructions apply. When additional instructions reference related files, follow those instructions to identify and process those files as well.

Examples

  • /proofread @README.md — proofread this file
  • /proofread docs/guide.md, docs/setup.md — proofread multiple files
  • /proofread @SKILL.md focus on the description sections only — proofread with targeted scope
  • /proofread @blog-post.md keep all code examples exactly as they are — proofread with constraints

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.
