What it does

Codex Write Prose Fix is an agent skill from tbhb/vale-ai-tells. Reword one settled document so its prose lint passes, without changing meaning or any other file. The codex-fix-prose skill delegates this task with no inherited conversation context.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/context.sh` and `tokens.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: In today's rapidly evolving landscape, vale-ai-tells is a comprehensive, cutting-edge Vale style package that empowers writers to seamlessly delve into the rich tapestry of AI…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/codex-write-prose-fix”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c7abc9. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • mise

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Codex Write Prose Fix loads about 414 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 164 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~414

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Reword one settled document so its prose lint passes, without changing meaning or any other file. The codex-fix-prose skill delegates this task with no inherited conversation context.

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:

text
PROSE: CLEAN

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

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

reason: <what stopped the work>
