voice-preserving-line-edit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills. It costs 159 tokens per session (5,856 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-aware editing workflow for finished prose that removes filler, generic AI-sounding patterns, jargon, and repetitive rhythm while keeping the author's voice. It can either rewrite the text or return findings without changing it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a final line edit, a findings-only audit, or a careful rewrite of articles, documentation, and other prose.
Why use it?
It improves clarity without applying rigid rules that would remove useful technical language or the writer's style.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

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

voice-preserving-line-edit 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 615 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Voice-Preserving Line Edit

A finishing pass for prose that is already written. It hunts throat-clearing before the point, inanimate things doing human work, binary contrasts that announce an insight instead of delivering it, and rhythm that never varies.

Two things separate this from a generic anti-slop rule sheet:

  1. Every rule is contextual. Adverbs, passive voice, third-person register, and em dashes are not banned outright. Each is cut only when it weakens this piece, in this genre, under this house style. A technical adverb, a conventional passive, an academic register, and a house-approved em dash all survive the pass.
  2. There is an audit mode. Ask for findings and you get quoted issues, reasons, and minimum corrections, with your text returned unchanged. The rewrite mode is opt-in, not the only setting.

These are writing-quality signals. They are not evidence of who or what wrote the text, and this skill never claims otherwise.


What This Skill Does

  • Finds and, on request, removes filler phrases, business jargon, empty intensifiers, formulaic structures, false agency, vague declaratives, and metronomic rhythm in finished prose.
  • Preserves the author's voice: deliberate fragments, dry humor, technical vocabulary, chosen formality, and useful rough edges.
  • Preserves the record: facts, numbers, dates, names, prices, claims, qualifiers, quotations, code, commands, links, citations, and paths pass through untouched.
  • Runs in either of two modes, findings-only audit or cleaning pass, each with its own fixed output contract.
  • Scores the result on five dimensions out of 50 and returns a CLEAN or REVISE verdict about the prose quality.

What it does not do: write new copy, restructure an argument, fact-check, guess at authorship, or publish anything. See Boundaries.


When to Use This Skill

  • Before copy, a README, an email, a social post, or a doc ships
  • After a long AI-assisted writing session
  • When the text sounds fine but feels generated
  • Before anything goes to press, to investors, or to customers
  • When someone wants the issues identified without a rewrite
  • When a draft has to keep a specific author's voice and a generic cleanup would erase it

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.
