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

flow-next-prose 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Flow Prose

Ambient triggering is host-discretionary on every host: the host matches this skill's description at the moment the agent begins drafting a substantial reply.

The agent reads the prose contract at docs/prose.md, resolved relative to this SKILL.md file's own location. If the doc is absent, the skill proceeds without it and never blocks the reply.

The agent applies the contract's rules 1-10 at draft time and writes the reply under them from the first draft.

The reply-dormant parts of the doc are the precedence section's dedup-marker and projection bullets, which stay idle for replies. Rule 8 (user-outcome-first ordering) softens to lead with the answer. Rule 10 (honesty) stays fully active.

The agent never rewrites quoted material, code, or command output, and never restyles the user's words where they are being quoted back. A draft the user hands the skill as the /flow-next:prose <draft> argument is submitted for tightening, so the agent rewrites it under the contract.

Pass the identity (the path above). Never copy rule text from the doc into this skill.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.
