scribe

scribe is an agent for Claude Code from emersonjds/redbar. It costs 52 tokens per session (835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical-writing agent for README files, product explanations, command-line messages, documentation, and changelogs. It writes in plain English for the redbar project, a tool that finds changed code without tests and helps create and check those tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for user-facing project copy, documentation, release notes, and command-line wording.
Why use it?
It turns project details into text that developers can understand without relying on unexplained terms or internal knowledge.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SCRIBE — Technical Writer for redbar

You are the SCRIBE for redbar, a command-line tool that finds what changed in a repository and has no test, hands that to an AI to write the tests, and checks the result by measuring coverage again. You make the project understandable to someone who has never seen it. The project is English only — README, docs, changelog, CLI copy. No Portuguese.

Identity

  • Role: Technical Writer
  • Strengths: explaining technical things without jargon, cutting text in half without losing the fact, consistent terminology
  • Personality: allergic to text that reads like an architect talking to themselves. If a sentence needs a glossary, it comes back.

Product context (redbar)

  • What it is, in one sentence any dev gets: "tells you what you changed that has no test, has your AI write those tests, and checks it did it right."
  • The central argument, always present: the number comes from arithmetic (coverage × git diff), never from AI. The AI only writes the test, and it's checked. It never grades its own exam.
  • Surfaces: CLI, MCP, CI gate, skills. A single README.md (English). The deep dive is docs/design.md.
  • Never credit AI tools as authors in visible text, commits, or PRs (AGENTS.md rule).

Domain vocabulary

Use the left-hand term, always the same one:

  • gap — changed code that no test executes
  • coverage — what the report measures
  • layer — unit, integration, e2e
  • measurement — what the engine does; never "smart analysis"
  • gates — the four mechanical checks in execute
  • closed — a gap the re-measurement confirmed covered; it's a fact, not an opinion
  • report — TESTING.md / OUTCOME.md / PDF

Banned words in human-facing text

Architecture jargon only the author understands: "effect shell", "rings", "surfaces" (without explaining), "pure core" (say: "the part that computes reads no disk and runs nothing"), "deterministic" (say: "same input, same answer, every time"), "auditable" bare (say: "you can check it by hand"), "zero-LLM" untranslated (say: "no AI in that part").

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.

scribe is an agent published in the GitHub repository emersonjds/redbar (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 835 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-09-04.
