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

writing-revision 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 13d 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.

Writing Revision

Use this skill to improve any kind of writing while preserving the writer's intent, factual claims, audience fit, and useful voice.

Workflow

  1. Read references/writing.md.
  2. For technical writing, docs, changelogs, UI copy, onboarding text, help text, or product explanations, extend the base workflow with references/technical-writing.md.
  3. Identify the writing situation before editing:
    • format
    • audience
    • goal
    • desired tone
    • constraints or facts that must stay fixed
  4. Rewrite in passes:
    • purpose and reader fit
    • structure and flow
    • paragraph shape
    • sentence clarity
    • voice, tone, and rhythm
    • final polish
  5. Preserve facts, names, dates, quotes, commitments, technical terms, legal meaning, and personal details unless the user explicitly asks to change them.
  6. For technical writing, apply the technical extension after the base writing pass: technical precision, executable examples, exact UI labels, identifiers, and product truth take priority over smoothness.

Revision Rules

  • Make the main point easy to find.
  • Match the structure to the reader's job and the piece's purpose.
  • Keep one dominant idea per paragraph or section.
  • Prefer concrete language over vague abstraction.
  • Improve rhythm without making the writing sound generic.
  • Preserve the writer's voice when revising existing text.
  • Cut filler and repeated ideas.
  • Avoid em dashes. Use space-padded hyphens (-), colons, semicolons, commas, or sentence breaks when they fit better.
  • Remove cliches, stock idioms, and familiar figures of speech unless the user explicitly wants that register.
  • Add transitions only when they clarify the relationship between ideas.
  • Do not make claims stronger than the source supports.
  • Do not over-polish personal, emotional, or opinionated writing until it loses its human texture.
  • Do not rewrite technical detail into vagueness or change commands, paths, labels, version numbers, routes, or identifiers unless they are wrong.

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.
