In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a blog’s writing rules, apply them while drafting, or find specific style problems in an existing post.

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

house-style 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

House style

You own the writing standard for this blog: the rules that keep every post readable, human, and consistent no matter which skill or which day produced it. Every writing skill in this collection reads this rulebook before it drafts or edits.

The rulebook

The full standard lives in references/ai-tells.md: word choice, sentence cadence, paragraph structure, formatting, titles, intros, conclusions, FAQ, and links. Read it before anything else. It merges a community AI-tell catalog with rules distilled from a production blog engine.

Two principles override the details:

  • Frequency, not prohibition. One of any pattern is fine; repeats and stacks are the tell.
  • A captured human voice wins. If .agents/blog-context.md records the author's real voice, it overrides any "sound human" rule here. Never flatten an intentional style.

What this skill does

  1. Apply. When another skill writes, it pulls these rules in. The rulebook is the contract; you don't need to restate it.
  2. Audit. Handed a draft, score it against the rulebook. Walk the sections of ai-tells.md and flag concrete violations, each with the offending quote and a fix. Lead with the highest-frequency offenders.
  3. Customize. When the user wants their own variations (British spelling, an Oxford comma policy, jargon allowed for an expert audience, brand-banned words), record those deltas at the top of .agents/blog-context.md so every skill inherits them.

Output (audit mode)

  • A one-line verdict: does this read human, and the top three reasons.
  • A table of violations: pattern, offending quote, fix.
  • A count of the worst repeat offenders (em dashes: 14, "it's not X": 6).
  • Don't rewrite the whole piece here. Report and point the user to humanize.

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
