edit-article

edit-article is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 61 tokens per session (828 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of edit-article, Apache-2.0.

An editing workflow for tightening existing prose while preserving its original voice, tone, and level of formality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shorten READMEs, plans, architecture decision records, and design documents by reorganizing sections, splitting or merging paragraphs, and tightening long sentences.
Why use it?
It removes repetition and improves the order and structure of information without turning the document into a different kind of writing.

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

edit-article 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 5d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mechanical, structural-only edits to prose. Voice and register are load-bearing and preserved verbatim.

Allowed transformations

  • Restructure section order to respect information dependencies (treat info as a DAG; later sections may depend on earlier, never vice versa).
  • Split a paragraph carrying two distinct points into two paragraphs.
  • Merge two short paragraphs that carry the same point into one.
  • Remove redundant sentences, clauses, or words that repeat what was already stated.
  • Consolidate parallel lists or tables into a single canonical form when content overlaps.
  • Tighten run-on sentences into shorter, clearer ones — preserving the original meaning and the original word choice where possible.
  • Cap paragraphs at ~240 characters where doing so requires no rephrasing.
  • Promote inline asides into footnotes or sidebars when they break flow.
  • Demote redundant headings; promote orphan paragraphs to their own subsection.

Forbidden transformations (hard fence)

  • Do NOT change voice (active/passive, first/second/third person).
  • Do NOT change register (formal ↔ casual).
  • Do NOT change tone (technical, decision-oriented, imperative).
  • Do NOT rewrite ODIN-mandated phrasing — terse imperative, third-person, English-mandate, decision-first prose stays.
  • Do NOT introduce new claims, examples, or analogies that were not in the source.
  • Do NOT remove technical specificity (file paths, command flags, version numbers, named constants).
  • Do NOT rename headers, fields, or list items even if they look redundant — those are structural and load-bearing.
  • Do NOT translate non-English-mandate content into a different style "for clarity."
  • Do NOT add emojis, gradients of warmth, marketing language, or hedging.

If a transformation seems necessary but lives in the forbidden list, STOP and surface the question to the user.

Protocol

  1. Dispatch Explore agent (or read directly for ≤50 LOC) to map the document into sections by heading. Build the dependency graph.
  2. Confirm the section order and graph with the user before any edit.
  3. For each section, in dependency order:
    • Identify candidate transformations from the allowed list.
    • Apply only those. Surface any forbidden-list candidates as questions.
    • Diff with difft after the edit; reject the change if voice/register/tone shifted.
  4. After all sections are processed, re-read the document end-to-end. Confirm flow without re-editing.
  5. Commit with message: docs: tighten <document-name> (mechanical edits only).

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.
