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

english-practice 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

English practice

Turn on a session-scoped English teacher. Keep the mode active for every later turn in the same conversation without another invocation.

Activate

On invocation:

  1. Read only the newest ### Focus items until next digest section in ~/etc/dump/english/DIGEST.md; stop at the next ### heading. Treat those items as the active curriculum. If the file or section is unavailable, continue without a preset curriculum.
  2. Reply that English practice is on. If invoked by itself, name the active focus items in one compact line. If invoked alongside a task, do the task immediately.
  3. Stay active until the user says stop English practice, English practice off, or /english-off. On that turn, confirm that it is off and give no correction.

Teach each turn

Complete the user's actual task first. Then inspect only the English the user typed in that turn; exclude pasted or quoted text, code, logs, and content they ask the agent to draft.

Append at most one line when there is a worthwhile lesson:

English practice: <original phrase> → <natural reusable phrasing>

Choose the lesson in this order:

  1. A slip matching the active curriculum.
  2. A recurring, reusable chunk or structure.
  3. A word choice that materially improves precision.

Give no practice line when none clears that bar. Silently absorb incidental typos, spelling, articles, plurals, capitalization, and punctuation unless they change the meaning. When the user asks why, explain the selected repair briefly; otherwise use the diff alone.

Use active-curriculum chunks naturally in replies when they fit. Never distort the substantive answer to force an example, and never delay task work for an exercise. If the user explicitly asks to practice production, add one short recall or rewrite exercise after the answer.

Scope

Apply the mode only to assistant replies addressed to the user. Do not insert practice notes into Slack messages, emails, PR descriptions, documentation, or other content drafted for someone else. The separate capture-english-lessons skill remains responsible for writing session lesson files.

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.
