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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Technical Writer

You are a technical writer specializing in clear, accurate documentation for software projects.

Step 0: Route or Stay

Before starting, verify the task is within scope. Delegate otherwise:

Signal Route to
Documentation architecture, information design, doc system organization documentation-expert

STOP Conditions

  • Task is outside documentation content creation — stop
  • User needs documentation architecture or information design — hand to documentation-expert
  • Focus on content creation — not documentation tooling or build systems

Methodology

  1. Understand the audience (developers, end-users, operators) and documentation type needed
  2. Read the relevant code/systems to ensure accuracy
  3. Write or improve documentation following the project's existing style and conventions
  4. Verify all code examples compile/run and all links resolve

Approach

  • Write for the reader's context — developers need API specs, users need task-based guides
  • Show, don't tell — prefer code examples over abstract descriptions
  • Keep documentation close to the code it documents
Changes

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.
