vale-ai-tells: Skill for Claude Code

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

codex-write-prose-fix is a skill for Claude Code from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. It costs 44 tokens per session (374 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that rewrites a document’s wording so prose checks pass while preserving its meaning. Prose checks are automated rules that flag style or language problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on one settled document when a prose linter reports problems, then rerun the specified checks to confirm the wording is clean.
Why use it?
It fixes lint findings without changing claims, numbers, identifiers, code, or unrelated files.

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-write-prose-fix 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/context.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

Fix prose and nothing else

The delegation prompt supplies the repository root, target, workflow state, and lint command. Start by running .agents/skills/codex-write-prose-fix/scripts/context.sh <target> <state> <lint command> from that root. It prints the document, findings, scope probe, and saved review notes.

Preserve every claim, qualifier, number, path, identifier, and name. Reword, but don't rewrite. Only the target's prose may change. Leave linter configuration, dictionaries, every other file, fenced code, paths, and backticked identifiers untouched. Don't add suppression comments. Preserve the target’s wrapping convention.

Run mise run fix-prose-replacements <target> first. Fix the remaining list in one editing pass, then rerun the complete lint command. Stop when it's clean or after five rounds. Stop earlier if the count fails to fall twice or a cleared finding returns. Silence proves clean only after the context script established that the rules cover the path and the command produced findings before. Report a rule that no wording can clear without changing meaning.

Use apply_patch for edits. Return exactly one form:

PROSE: CLEAN

changed: <one line per class of edit>
PROSE: PARTIAL

changed: <summary or nothing>
unresolved:
1. [<rule>] <line>: <exact text>
   why: <cost of clearing it>
PROSE: BLOCKED

reason: <what stopped the work>
Files

What ships with it

2 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.
