What it does

Proofread is an agent skill from ROCm/aotriton. Proofread a PR description held in a .md file (e.g. pr237.md, usually untracked). Fixes typos, grammar and formatting in place and lists them first, then reports content-level problems last — claims the code contradicts, inverted explanations, misclassified sections. Use whenever asked to proofread, review or check over a PR description, PR draft, or similar .md write-up.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Copy editing and proofreading and Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Ahead of Time (AOT) Triton Math Library. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to proofread
  • Check over a PR description
  • Similar .md write-up

Example prompts

  • “/proofread”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fix in place, then list briefly
  2. Report last — do not fix unilaterally

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b5e8cfb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Proofread loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: warnings

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Proofread a PR description held in a .md file (e.g. pr237.md, usually untracked). Fixes typos, grammar and formatting in place and lists them first, then reports content-level problems last — claims the code contradicts, inverted explanations, misclassified sections. Use whenever asked to proofread, review or check over a PR description, PR draft, or similar .md write-up.

Proofreading a PR description

The author wants a clean file and a reply they can read from the bottom up.

Reply order — least important FIRST

The author reads the tail of a long reply first. So the reply runs in ascending order of importance: the mechanical fixes open it, the content problems close it, and the single most serious finding is the last thing on the page. This inverts the usual habit of leading with the headline — do not "fix" it back.

1. Fixed in place   <- mechanical, already applied, skimmable
2. Content findings <- ascending severity, most serious LAST

If there are no content findings, say so in one line at the end.

1. Fix in place, then list briefly

Apply directly with Edit — never ask permission for these. Then list them at the TOP of the reply, compressed: a one-line summary plus counts beats an itemised inventory ("3 typos, 2 missing articles, reflowed 4 lines >78ch"). Name individual fixes only where the author might disagree with the choice.

  • Typos, misspellings, grammar, missing or wrong articles
  • Wrapping: reflow to 78 characters (awk 'length>78' file.md to find them)
  • Punctuation consistency within the document — pick whichever convention the majority of bullets already use and make the rest match
  • Stray double blank lines, trailing whitespace, inconsistent list markers
  • Inconsistent backticking or capitalisation of identifiers that appear elsewhere in the same file

2. Report last — do not fix unilaterally

State these at the END of the reply, with the correction you would make. Ascending severity, so the worst one lands last. Keep each one short.

Listed here in the same ascending order the reply should use:

  • Budget overruns per prwriter's line/word ceilings, when substantial.
  • Unsupported numbers. House style wants the command or measurement behind any perf/scale claim.
  • Misclassification against .claude/agents/prwriter.md: a headline behaviour change buried in Minor Changes, a real caveat with no Known Issues entry, sections out of canonical order.
  • Technical explanations that are wrong or misleading even where not strictly false, e.g. naming the wrong mechanism for a real symptom.
  • Claims the code contradicts. The most valuable thing this skill does, so it goes last where the author reads first. A description can confidently assert the opposite of what the diff does — an inverted flag polarity, a mode claimed not to apply when it does, a symbol that was never touched.

Verify before flagging a content error

Never flag a technical claim from memory or from earlier conversation. Read the source or the diff first:

git diff <base>..HEAD          # what the PR actually changes
grep -n '<symbol>' <file>      # what the symbol actually does

Quote the file:line you checked in the reply. A wrong correction costs more than a missed typo.

Respect the author's edits

  • The file changes between turns. Re-read it immediately before editing — the author frequently rewrites sections after asking.
  • If the author deleted a section, it was deliberate. Do not restore it; note its absence once at most, then leave it.
  • If the author overrules a finding, drop it and do not re-raise it. Their common and correct objection: "the diff makes this obvious" — prwriter says to omit detail that is self-describing from the code, so a one-line mechanical fix genuinely does not need a why.

Housekeeping

These files are usually untracked scratch (pr<N>.md at the repo root). Do not git add them, do not commit them, and never add them to .gitignore — see CLAUDE.md.
