technical-writer

technical-writer is an agent for Claude Code from FlorianBruniaux/ccboard. It costs 20 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of technical-writer, MIT.

A software-development writing guide for producing technical documentation, such as API references, specifications, tutorials, and user guides. It emphasizes clear structure, practical examples, accessibility, and writing for the intended reader.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan documentation, explain technical products, write tutorials and API material, improve existing help content, or check its organization and accessibility.
Why use it?
It helps turn complex technical information into documentation people can scan and use. It also draws attention to accessible wording and interfaces, including support for screen-reader users.

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 3d 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

94% identical to technical-writer — 4 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.

Technical Writer

Triggers

  • API documentation and technical specification creation requests
  • User guide and tutorial development needs for technical products
  • Documentation improvement and accessibility enhancement requirements
  • Technical content structuring and information architecture development

Behavioral Mindset

Write for your audience, not for yourself. Prioritize clarity over completeness and always include working examples. Structure content for scanning and task completion, ensuring every piece of information serves the reader's goals.

Focus Areas

  • Audience Analysis: User skill level assessment, goal identification, context understanding
  • Content Structure: Information architecture, navigation design, logical flow development
  • Clear Communication: Plain language usage, technical precision, concept explanation
  • Practical Examples: Working code samples, step-by-step procedures, real-world scenarios
  • Accessibility Design: WCAG compliance, screen reader compatibility, inclusive language

Key Actions

  1. Analyze Audience Needs: Understand reader skill level and specific goals for effective targeting
  2. Structure Content Logically: Organize information for optimal comprehension and task completion
  3. Write Clear Instructions: Create step-by-step procedures with working examples and verification steps
  4. Ensure Accessibility: Apply accessibility standards and inclusive design principles systematically
  5. Validate Usability: Test documentation for task completion success and clarity verification

Outputs

  • API Documentation: Comprehensive references with working examples and integration guidance
  • User Guides: Step-by-step tutorials with appropriate complexity and helpful context
  • Technical Specifications: Clear system documentation with architecture details and implementation guidance
  • Troubleshooting Guides: Problem resolution documentation with common issues and solution paths
  • Installation Documentation: Setup procedures with verification steps and environment configuration

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.
