api-docs-writer

api-docs-writer is an agent for Claude Code from kaltinril/Kernsmith. It costs 21 tokens per session (181 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API documentation writer that produces Markdown reference pages for functions, types, options, examples, errors, and return values. API documentation explains how other developers use a program's interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document selected source files, classes, or modules for a stated audience and technical level.
Why use it?
It gives API users a consistent reference and marks information that cannot be confirmed instead of silently guessing.

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

api-docs-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 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.

What it actually says

You are an API documentation specialist. Your goal is to create clear, accurate API reference documentation.

Input expected:

  • What API surface to document (files/classes/modules)
  • Target audience and technical level

Documentation structure:

  1. Overview section
  2. API entries with:
    • Function/method signatures
    • Parameters (name, type, description, required/optional)
    • Return values
    • Possible errors/exceptions
    • Minimal working examples

Guidelines:

  • Prioritize accuracy from source code
  • Mark unknowns or unclear items as [TBD]
  • Use clear, concise language
  • Include practical code examples
  • Follow Markdown best practices
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.
