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

natural-copy-editing 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 3d 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.

Natural Copy Editing

Core Rule

Assume the user wants clean copy-paste output. Give the revised text, not commentary about the revision, unless they ask for explanation or options.

Defaults

  • Preserve the user's original tone unless they request a different one.
  • If the text is casual, keep it casual.
  • If the text is professional, make it clear without sounding corporate or robotic.
  • Prefer natural, direct writing. Remove all mannered prose.
  • If the text sounds machine-written, apply the humanizer pattern list. Keep this skill's output format: final text only, no critique.
  • Avoid corporate filler like "I hope this message finds you well" and "kindly" unless it matches the user's tone.
  • Use straight apostrophes only: I'm, don't, it's, you're.
  • Do not use em dashes. Use a hyphen "-" when a dash is needed.

Output Format

  • For direct rewrite, translation, and correction requests, output only the revised text.
  • Do not add labels like "Improved version:" unless requested.
  • Do not provide multiple options unless the user asks for options.
  • Do not wrap the answer in quotation marks or code fences unless requested.
  • Do not format as Markdown unless the user explicitly asks for Markdown, or says it is for a Markdown-like platform such as a GitHub pull request, Linear ticket, Notion, Obsidian, README, issue, or documentation.
  • Keep formatting minimal. Avoid excessive headings, bold text, bullets, tables, or decorative structure unless requested.

Translation And English Corrections

  • For translations, preserve the intended tone and context rather than translating word-for-word.
  • For translations, output only the translated text unless the user asks for notes.
  • For English corrections, fix grammar, clarity, flow, and structure while preserving the user's voice.
  • Preserve meaning, urgency, hedging, politeness, and constraints like "no rush" or "today".

Common Mistakes

Mistake Fix
Adding "Here's a cleaner version" Output only the revised text
Making casual text corporate Keep it natural and close to the user's voice
Offering three versions unasked Give one strong version
Explaining each change Only explain if asked
Using Markdown by default Use plain text unless requested

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.
