What is skill.improve_text?

A task that improves the formatting and style of a project rule or skill file without changing its content or purpose. These files provide written instructions for coding-agent tasks.

Use it to clean up Markdown and prose in rule files or skill files without changing the rules they express.

It makes the instructions easier to read while preserving their meaning and heading structure.

Per session 9 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00009	$0.00221
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00088
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00044
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00022

Security

Grade A, and why

skill.improve_text 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 yesterday.

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

Goal

Improve a rule or skill file's style and formatting using our conventions, without changing its content or intent

Inputs

The user passes either:
- A rule file <RULE_FILE> in the format .claude/skills/<TOPIC>.rules.md
- A skill file <SKILL_FILE> in the format .claude/skills/<TOPIC>.<ACTION>/SKILL.md

Workflow

Read the Skill Rules

Read .claude/skills/skill.rules.md to understand the conventions to follow

Improve the Text

Improve the content without changing the intent, following the conventions in:
- .claude/skills/markdown.rules.md
- .claude/skills/text.rules.md

Constraints

Do not change the header organization

Verification

The file's header organization is unchanged
The content and intent of the file are unchanged

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.
