In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean drafts, explain jargon, check Brazilian Portuguese translation patterns, convert parallel text into tables, and enforce a length limit.
Why use it?
It catches unclear or overly artificial writing and applies the destination document's local rules before the text is used.

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

deslop-prose 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 7d 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Deslop (prose)

Review gate for text, not code. deslop handles code; this handles anything a human will read as prose.

Run it on the draft, before writing to disk and before showing the user.

Step 0: load the destination's own rules

If the target path is inside a tree that has a CLAUDE.md at its root (for example docs/CLAUDE.md), read that file first. It outranks everything below. Those files carry the project's own substitution tables, terminology bans, and glossary thresholds, and they are usually the only place a house rule is written down.

Skipping this step is the single most common way this gate fails. Do not skip it because the rules "look generic".

Step 1: mechanical checks

Grep the draft. Any hit is a defect.

grep -nP '\x{2014}|\s-\s' <file>      # em dashes and spaced dashes
grep -niE 'robust|seamless|abrangente|poderoso|simplesmente|essencialmente|basicamente|obviamente|vale ressaltar|é importante notar|In this change'

Then run whatever verification greps the destination CLAUDE.md defines.

Step 2: calques and jargon (pt-BR drafts only)

A literal translation that is grammatically valid can still be wrong. Check the destination's substitution table first, then these.

English Use Avoid
harden / hardening (noun) hardening, in italics "endurecimento"
harden (verb) "fazer o hardening de" "endurecer"
finding (audit / security audit) "achado", the established audit term rewriting a documented audit glossary
finding (engineering investigation) "o que foi encontrado" "achado" as a generic heading
bypass bypass, in italics "contorno", "desvio"
pool / pooling pool, in italics "piscina", "agrupamento"
placeholder placeholder, in italics "marcador de posição"

Rule of thumb: if the team says the English word out loud in a code review, keep the English word and italicize it. If nobody says it, translate the concept.

Check the corpus before inventing a term. Grep the destination tree for both candidates and follow what is already there, unless what is there is provably a repeated mistake.

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.
