critic-apply

critic-apply is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from petar-djukic/writing-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule-based tool for applying feedback from several critics to a draft. It decides which suggestions agree, conflict, or must be rejected, then records what happened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply a critic sheet to an article or other draft, including accepted edits, deletions, rejected suggestions, and a report of each decision.
Why use it?
It removes the need to choose feedback by hand and makes edits consistent and traceable. It also limits rewrites to specific instructions and checks the result against stated rules.

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

critic-apply 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/critic_apply.py, scripts/test_critic_apply.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: critic-apply description: >- Rule-based application of a converged critic sheet: accept every convergent target (2+ critics), skip split panels, decline constitution-protected spans with cause, prefer the omission when remedies conflict, and count reverse-outline cheap ranks as convergence for single-critic deletions. Rewrites route through the rewrite transport with a narrow one-sentence instruction and a mechanical gate (numbers, citations, em-dash/colon budgets, size band); deletions apply directly; rst markers round-trip. Reports applied/kept/declined-by-rule for the generation: block. Triggers: critic apply, apply the critic sheet, apply the panel, apply suggestions by rule, converged sheet application. argument-hint: '--article <draft.md> --sheet .critic-sheet.md'

Critic Apply (rule-based sheet application)

critic-panel produces the sheet and never applies anything; the author used to pick by hand, and the auto-application policy (operator, 2026-09-01) ran twice as throwaway scratchpad scripts. This skill is that policy as versioned code: the author never reads drivel because the rules decide, and the rules are arguable because they are deterministic.

The rules

rule effect
convergent target (2+ distinct critics on one passage) accepted
split panel (a proposal beside a KEEP/NO CHANGE dissent) skipped — proposal + dissent is not convergence
constitution-protected span (--protected verbatim spans) declined with cause, however many critics want it — the constitution outranks the panel
remedy conflict inside a convergence, one remedy a CUT the omission wins — a deletion authors no prose
single-critic CUT on a paragraph reverse-outline ranked cheap (--cheap-paragraphs) accepted — cross-instrument agreement counts as convergence for deletions
any other single-critic finding skipped; the author picks those by hand

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.

critic-apply is a skill published in the GitHub repository petar-djukic/writing-skills (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 882 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
