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

comms-improver 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 12d 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.

Comms Improver

Rewrite legal text in plain language for a specified non-legal audience. The output preserves meaning while changing form: shorter sentences, common words instead of jargon, active voice instead of passive, concrete examples instead of abstract formulations. The skill is transformation, not drafting from scratch.

This skill is for the everyday in-house counsel task of translating between legal precision and non-legal accessibility. Lawyers spend significant time rewriting their own work — or reviewing others' rewrites — for executive readouts, sales communications, customer disclosures, deal-team briefings, and engineering specs. The skill does this rewriting (or supports the user's rewriting) while flagging where translation involved interpretation.

When this skill applies

Apply when the user has legal-jargon-heavy text and wants it rewritten for a specified non-legal audience. Common inputs:

  • Email drafts to non-legal business stakeholders.
  • Contract clauses to be explained to a deal team or product team.
  • Legal disclaimers to be rewritten for customer-facing surfaces.
  • Memos to be summarized for executive readouts.
  • Regulatory developments to be communicated to affected business functions.
  • Compliance obligations to be translated for the operational owner.

Do not apply when:

  • The user wants to draft text from scratch. Out of scope — the skill rewrites existing text. Drafting from scratch is a different shape (drafting skill candidate; deferred enhancement).
  • The user wants to translate between languages (e.g., English to Spanish). Out of scope.
  • The user wants legal review of someone else's plain-language rewrite. Out of scope; that's review, not rewriting. The user can paste both versions and ask whether the rewrite preserves meaning, but the skill is calibrated for the rewriting task.
  • The text is already plain language and the user wants a different style. Out of scope; that's editing for style, not rewriting for accessibility.
  • The user wants to "make this sound more legal" or "add legal weight." Out of scope — the skill goes from legal to plain, not the other direction. Adding legal precision to plain text is a different task with different risks (introducing meaning the original didn't carry).
