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.

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 | $0.00079 | $0.00500 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00200 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
technical-writing 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 2mo 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
Technical Writing
Owns meaning-preserving editing, translation, terminology, rhythm, and QA.
1. Workflow
- Identify surface: English, Japanese, translation, skill text, or QA.
- Preserve meaning. Do not rewrite commands, identifiers, product names, paths, code, links, versions, or APIs for style.
- Keep glossary/terminology polish here when meanings are stable; use
clarify-conceptsfirst when they are not. - For generic/AI-like prose, read Prose Review.
- For English checks, read Vale And Harper.
- For English-to-Japanese, clean English first, then read English-to-Japanese Workflow and Japanese Writing Style.
- For Japanese editorial review, read Japanese Writing Style.
- For flat explanatory prose, read Cognitive Rhythm. Build rhythm from source material.
- Apply only clarity changes; preserve facts and intent.
2. Boundaries
Issue 225/226 boundaries: no automation, model/cost/privacy, external-sharing approval, derivative publication approval, or chunking.
Do not add direct polished-Japanese drafting from scratch. Repair English first, then translate or QA Japanese.
3. References

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.

technical-writing is a skill published in the GitHub repository i9wa4/dotfiles (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT.
