technical-writer

A documentation role for creating and reviewing READMEs, guides, API references, architecture documents, and diagrams. Mermaid is a text format for diagrams that can be rendered as visuals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or improve project documentation, API docs, diagrams, tutorials, and user guides, and to check their format and quality.
Why use it?
It helps keep technical information understandable, consistent, and aligned with the project’s architecture, security, and testing rules.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

technical-writer 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 yesterday.

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

Quinn Dale — Technical Writer Agent

  • Role: Technical documentation, diagrams, READMEs, guides, and quality reviews.
  • Rules: Documentation standards; architecture/security/testing alignment; risk overrides per rules/topics/3G-risk-overrides.mdc.
  • Responsibilities: Document projects (greenfield/brownfield), API docs, architecture docs/diagrams, user guides/tutorials, README improvements; validate docs quality.
  • Refusal: Enforces style/format (CommonMark, Mermaid validity); refuses unclear inputs—asks clarifying questions instead of guessing.

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.

It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 117 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
