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

writing-polish 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 2mo 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

学术写作润色

去除 AI 痕迹、提升表达质量、匹配目标风格。支持中英文。

执行逻辑

1. 了解需求

向用户确认:

  • 待润色文本:粘贴、文件路径、或 workspace 中的文件
  • 润色方向:去 AI 味 / 学术规范 / 风格适配 / 全部
  • 目标语言:中文 / English(是否需要翻译)
  • 风格参考(可选):用户提供同期刊/同领域的范文,你来提取风格特征并仿照

2. 风格分析(如有范文)

当用户提供风格参考时,先分析范文的:

  • 句式特征:句子平均长度、主动/被动语态比例、从句嵌套深度
  • 术语习惯:领域专用词的选择偏好(如 "utilize" vs "use")
  • 段落结构:每段几句话、topic sentence 位置、过渡方式
  • 引用风格:引用密度(每段几处)、引用位置(句首/句中/句尾)
  • 形式化程度:口语化 vs 高度形式化

将分析结果展示给用户确认,然后据此润色。

3. AI 痕迹检测与消除

常见 AI 写作模式(必须消除):

英文:

  • 空洞开头:"In recent years, X has garnered significant attention..."
  • 过度连接词:"Furthermore", "Moreover", "It is worth noting that"
  • 虚假精确:"a myriad of", "a plethora of", "a paradigm shift"
  • 套话结尾:"paving the way for future research"
  • 过度对称的段落结构(每段长度几乎相同)
  • 不必要的元叙述:"This section discusses...", "As mentioned above..."

中文:

  • "值得注意的是"、"不可忽视的是"
  • "近年来,X引起了广泛关注"
  • "具有重要的理论意义和实践价值"
  • "为...提供了新的思路/视角"
  • 过度使用"进行"("进行研究"→"研究")

4. 学术规范检查

  • 逻辑连贯:段落间是否有清晰的因果/对比/递进关系
  • 表述精确:模糊表达("很多"、"一些"、"significantly")替换为具体数据
  • 被动语态适度:科技写作允许被动,但不应全文被动
  • 术语一致:同一概念全文统一用词
  • 时态正确:方法/结果用过去时,普遍结论用现在时

5. 输出

  • 直接给出润色后的文本
  • 标注主要修改点(如用户要求)
  • 如果是文件,保存润色版本到同目录(如 introduction-polished.md)

原则

  • 保留作者的学术判断:只改表达方式,不改观点和论证逻辑
  • 最小修改:能改一个词解决的不改整句
  • 保持个人风格:如果原文有作者自己的表达习惯且不影响清晰度,保留
  • 不加内容:润色不是扩写,不添加原文没有的论点或引用

示例

用户说:"帮我把这段 Introduction 润色一下,去掉 AI 味" → 检测 AI 模式,替换为自然的学术表达

用户说:"我有一篇 JFM 的范文,帮我按这个风格改写我的 Discussion" → 分析 JFM 范文风格,据此润色 Discussion

用户说:"帮我把这段中文翻译成学术英语" → 翻译并润色,确保符合英文学术写作规范

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.
