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

prose-fix 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

Prose Fix

Scan the target file(s) for formatting issues, typos, and weak prose. Fix in place without changing the author's voice or intent.

What to Fix

Formatting

Issue Replace with
Em dash (with spaces) Period, comma, colon, or parentheses depending on context
Em dash (no spaces) Split into two sentences or use comma
Double spaces Single space

Typos

  • Misspelled words
  • Wrong word form (e.g. "teh" → "the", "dont" → "don't")
  • Missing apostrophes in contractions

Sentence Clarity

  • Remove filler words ("very", "just", "really", "basically", "actually")
  • Split run-on sentences into two
  • Flatten weak constructions ("is able to" → "can", "in order to" → "to")

Rules

  • Read the file before editing
  • Never change the author's voice, tone, or meaning
  • Never rewrite a sentence that is already clear and direct
  • Preserve technical terms, code references, and proper nouns exactly
  • Do not add words — only remove or substitute
  • One pass: formatting first, then typos, then clarity

Workflow

  1. Read the file
  2. Grep for to list formatting issues
  3. Edit all issues in one pass per category
  4. Grep again for to confirm none remain
  5. Report a summary of what was changed by category

Scope

  • Works on any .md or .txt file
  • If no file is specified, ask the user which file to fix
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.
