fluent-writing

An interactive language-writing practice session for emails, letters, forms, and other short texts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to practise a matched writing scenario, receive categorized feedback, and track writing-skill progress.
Why use it?
It gives learners systematic corrections and explains grammar, tone, and recurring error patterns after they write.

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

fluent-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 2d 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.

Writing Practice Session

Overview

Full-text writing practice with systematic correction. One scenario per session, detailed feedback broken down by severity and category, DB update at end. Mastery-driven scenario selection keeps the task at the right level — challenging, not frustrating.

When to Use

Trigger this skill only when the learner types /fluent-writing. The skill is gated with disable-model-invocation: true — a 15-20 min interactive session with DB writes should never start from an ambiguous prompt.

Skip this skill in favor of /fluent-vocab if the learner has not yet hit mastery 2 in basic vocabulary — writing needs a minimum word bank.

Instructions

1. Load context

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}}/.claude/hooks/read-db.py"

Need: learner-profile (level, target language, focus areas), mistakes-db (weak writing patterns), mastery-db (writing sub-skills).

2. Pick scenario type

From mastery-db.skills_mastery:

  • Formal email (if writing_formal_email mastery < 4)
  • Informal email (if writing_informal_email < 4)
  • Form filling (if writing_forms < 4)
  • Newsletter / personal text (if overall writing < 3)
  • Mixed scenarios (if all ≥ 4)

Scenarios must match the learner's CEFR level — A2 uses everyday situations, B1+ adds opinion / complaint / inquiry.

3. Present the task

## ✍️ Writing Exercise

**Scenario:** {clear description in native language}

**Task:** Write a {type} in {target_language}.

**Requirements:**
- Length: {X-Y} words
- Include: {must-include elements}
- Register: {formal / informal}
- Level: {CEFR}

{Optional: example structure for harder tasks}

**Write your {text_type} below:**

4. Wait for the full text

Don't correct mid-composition. Let the learner finish.

5. Systematic error analysis

Check every sentence for these categories:

  1. Grammar — word order, conjugation, clause structure, articles
  2. Formal/informal — register consistency
  3. Vocabulary — wrong word, English mixing, register-wrong synonyms
  4. Missing elements — greeting, closing, required fields
  5. Spelling — minor at A2, weightier at B2+
  6. Structure — organization, flow, paragraphing

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.
