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

proofreader 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/proof_check.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Proofreader

Overview

This skill performs careful proofreading and copyediting of prose. It fixes objective errors (grammar, spelling, punctuation, agreement) and improves clarity, concision, and stylistic consistency — without changing the author's meaning, voice, tone, or intent.

Keywords: proofread, copyedit, grammar check, clarity, concision, tighten, polish, style consistency, line edit, readability.

Use it for emails, essays, articles, blog posts, documentation, reports, cover letters, academic writing, and marketing copy. Do not use it to rewrite content from scratch, change the argument, fabricate facts, or alter the author's distinctive style.

The Cardinal Rule

Preserve meaning. Every edit must keep the author's intended message intact. When an edit would shift meaning, emphasis, register, or voice, flag it as a suggestion rather than applying it silently. If a sentence is ambiguous, do not guess — ask or annotate both readings.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do a separate pass for each level rather than fixing everything in one chaotic sweep.

  1. Clarify scope. Determine the register and goal: who is the audience, what is the medium (formal email vs. casual blog), and which English variant applies (US/UK/AU/CA). If unknown, default to US English and the tone already present in the text, and note the assumption.

  2. Pass 1 — Correctness. Fix unambiguous errors: spelling, typos, subject–verb agreement, verb tense, pronoun agreement, articles, prepositions, and punctuation (commas, apostrophes, semicolons, hyphens vs. en/em dashes). These are non-negotiable and applied directly. See references/grammar-rules.md.

  3. Pass 2 — Clarity. Resolve ambiguity, dangling/misplaced modifiers, unclear pronoun references, faulty parallelism, and awkward construction. Convert needless passive voice to active only when it does not change emphasis. Break up overlong run-on sentences.

  4. Pass 3 — Concision. Cut redundancies, filler, and wordy phrases without losing nuance. Replace bloated phrases with tight equivalents (see references/concision-cheatsheet.md). Never cut so aggressively that meaning or politeness is lost.

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.
