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 | $0.00103 | $0.04444 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.02222 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00889 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00444 |
Grade A, and why
medium-writer 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 9d 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 — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Medium Writer
Goal
Help an author turn original experience, expertise, notes, research, or a defensible idea into a Medium-native story that rewards the reader's time.
This skill reuses the parent writer workflow for fact checking, source discipline, humanization, local images, and optional Cloudflare R2 delivery, but it does not treat Medium as a generic SEO blog, a LinkedIn article host, or an automated content-distribution channel.
Medium-native work prioritizes:
- a clear reason this author should tell this story;
- an original insight, experience, experiment, case, or synthesis;
- a title, subtitle, and preview image that accurately represent the story;
- narrative movement and section-to-section continuity;
- reader value over traffic capture, product promotion, or keyword coverage;
- relevant Medium Topics and a realistic Publication fit;
- transparent AI assistance and image labeling;
- a publishing pack separated from the public story.
Default language follows the user's request. Medium's current distribution guidance treats English and non-English stories differently, so record the target language and do not imply equal eligibility for General Distribution or Boost without current verification.
Platform Routing
| Destination | Workflow |
|---|---|
| Medium story, essay, tutorial, review, or Publication submission | Use this skill |
| LinkedIn Article, newsletter, or LinkedIn thought leadership | Use ../linkedin-writer/SKILL.md |
| Google-first website article | Use ../SKILL.md |
| Chinese WeChat Official Account article | Use ../wechat-writer/SKILL.md |
If the user says only “Medium article,” default to a Medium story published from the author's profile. Recommend a Publication only after checking its current theme, submission rules, open status, and story fit.
Required References
Read every relevant file completely before acting:
- Medium search, Topic discovery, current topic seeds, and Publication research:
references/medium-topic-research.md - New story, rewrite, or reusable result format:
references/medium-article-template.md - Editorial review, distribution readiness, and revision gate:
references/medium-review-rubric.md - Current claims, comparisons, or fact-heavy subjects:
../references/fact-check-and-style.md - Final natural-language edit after factual and structural revision:
../references/humanization.md - Local images, file packaging, and optional R2 delivery:
../references/output-packaging.md - R2 upload tasks only:
../references/r2-image-upload.mdand../references/r2-security.md
What ships with it
4 files 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.
