vale-ai-tells: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/codex-fix-prose/SKILL.md

codex-fix-prose is a skill for Claude Code from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. It costs 57 tokens per session (567 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for correcting spelling and style findings in an already settled document. It uses one writer to make the changes and a separate reviewer to check them, while tools such as Vale and cspell report prose problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording a baseline, delegating prose edits, verifying suppression changes, independently reviewing the result, and running the document’s final lint command.
Why use it?
It keeps repeated lint findings and review attempts out of the main working context and checks that fixes do not hide or suppress the findings.

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

codex-fix-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check-suppressions.sh, scripts/preflight.sh), 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.

What it actually says

Orchestrate a prose fix

Keep findings and retries out of the parent context. Parse the request into a target and complete lint command, then run:

bash .agents/skills/codex-fix-prose/scripts/preflight.sh <target> <lint command>

Stop on BLOCKED. On PROCEED, create a plan with update_plan: baseline, writer, mechanical verification, independent review, final lint.

Record the baseline before delegation:

bash .agents/skills/codex-fix-prose/scripts/check-suppressions.sh --baseline <target>

Save the absolute state: path that command prints. It identifies this workflow and records its target. Until cleanup, the script refuses a second workflow on the same target. Pass the state to every delegated writer and reviewer in this run.

Delegate codex-write-prose-fix with fork_turns: "none". Give it only the repository root, target, workflow state, lint command, and instruction to follow that skill. Wait for its terminal report. Never edit the target in the parent.

Run check-suppressions.sh --verify <state> <target>. Any finding means the run isn't clean. Delegate codex-review-prose-fix with fork_turns: "none", giving it the repository root, target, and workflow state. If it returns changes required, save those findings in <state>/notes, delegate the writer again with the same minimal prompt, and repeat verification and review. Bound this writer/reviewer loop at three review rounds.

Finally run the complete lint command once in the parent. Always run check-suppressions.sh --cleanup <state> before returning once no delegated agent needs the state, even when the outcome is unresolved or blocked. Report PROSE: CLEAN only when the writer reported clean, the suppression check is silent, the independent reviewer returned REVIEW: CLEAN, and the final lint command passes. Otherwise return the short unresolved or blocked report. Mark each plan item as it completes.

Safety rules:

  • Only the delegated writer may edit the target, and the target is the only file it may edit.
  • Never change lint configuration, dictionaries, hooks, or suppression comments.
  • Don't infer clean from silent output unless preflight proved the target has prose rules.
  • Don't expose full lint findings in the parent response unless the workflow blocks and the operator needs a decision.
Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
