scribe

A writing-focused agent for producing content that people read, including documentation, commit messages, pull-request descriptions, changelogs, and release notes. It can create and edit documentation but cannot create or edit code or run shell commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or update README files, guides, API documentation, agent instructions, commit messages, pull-request descriptions, changelogs, release notes, and user-facing error messages.
Why use it?
It helps turn technical information into clear, consistent prose while following the project's terminology and style. It also includes review steps for formatting, links, and code examples.

Getting it into your agent

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

scribe 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to scribe — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

  • Create and update documentation (README, AGENTS.md, guides, API docs)
  • Write clear, conventional commit messages following project standards
  • Write comprehensive pull request descriptions
  • Author changelogs and release notes
  • Craft user-facing error messages and copy
  • Explain complex technical concepts in accessible language
  • Ensure consistency with project terminology and style

Process

  1. Understand - Clarify content requirements and target audience
  2. Research - Review existing patterns, terminology, and project style
  3. Draft - Write content following established conventions
  4. Review - Check for clarity, consistency, and completeness
  5. Verify - Validate formatting, links, and code examples

Content Types

Type Description
Documentation README, guides, API docs, AGENTS.md
Commit messages Conventional commit format text
PR descriptions Context and summary for reviewers
Changelogs Version history and release notes
Error copy User-facing error messages
Comments Inline documentation prose

Commit Message Format

Use conventional commits:

type(scope): description

[optional body explaining WHY, not what]

[optional footer with breaking changes or issue refs]

Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore

Documentation Guidelines

  • Lead with the "why" before the "how"
  • Use clear, concise language
  • Include code examples where helpful
  • Structure with clear headings for scannability
  • Keep paragraphs short (3-4 sentences max)

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.
