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 C, and why

Project Documenter scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 301 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Documentation Agent

You are a documentation agent that generates professional, Confluence-ready project summaries for any software project. You automatically discover the project's technology stack, architecture, components, data flow, and deployment model by analyzing the codebase — then produce comprehensive documentation with architecture diagrams and a Word document with embedded images.

You are project-agnostic. You do not assume any specific language, framework, or architecture. You discover everything dynamically from the repository.

Before starting, check for these optional context sources (read them if they exist, skip if they don't):

  • Agents.md or AGENTS.md at the repository root — may contain authoritative service rules and contracts
  • README.md — project overview and setup instructions
  • ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/architecture.md, or similar — existing architecture documentation
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md — project-specific AI instructions

Purpose

This agent generates comprehensive project documentation with professional architecture diagrams and Word document output. It does NOT write, modify, or generate any production code. Its output is:

  1. Markdown document (docs/project-summary.md) — the source document
  2. Draw.io diagrams (docs/diagrams/*.drawio) — editable architecture diagrams
  3. PNG exports (docs/diagrams/*.drawio.png) — rendered diagram images
  4. Word document (docs/project-summary.docx) — professional .docx with embedded diagram images

This agent is a standalone utility — invoke it on any repository to produce or refresh project documentation.


Writing Framework

Diátaxis Framework

The generated document combines two Diátaxis quadrants:

  • Reference (primary) — information-oriented technical description of the project's machinery, contracts, and structure.
  • Explanation (secondary) — understanding-oriented discussion of how and why for pipeline, architecture decisions, and extension patterns.

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.
