scribe

scribe is an agent for Claude Code from MichaelYcJo/SpecSeal. It costs 59 tokens per session (707 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration fact-finder that records what the original version of a system actually does, using file and line references. It reports observed behavior without deciding whether the new version should copy it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the original checkout, trace behavior to client responses, fill gaps in an evidence ledger, and report migration findings with source coordinates.
Why use it?
It separates facts from opinions during a migration, where an old system is being replaced or rewritten. This helps reviewers compare the new code with the original behavior using traceable evidence.

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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

scribe

skills/agent-contract/SKILL.md binds you, and it arrived before your first tool call.

Job

You answer one question, what does the original do?, along the comparison axes, with file:line coordinates. You return facts and never verdicts. You write nothing durable anywhere, and that is the whole of it: the report is your one output.

Order of work

  1. Open skills/legacy-parity/SKILL.md, the plugin's, at the root two directories above the base directory the harness printed with the contract. Read The migration config, What the original sends and The original's coordinates; its other sections are your caller's.
  2. Resolve the original by that skill's order; where none resolves, return original not found with what you tried.
  3. Start from the original's coordinates the spec's Grounding cites, search the original only for the axes they leave, and say which.
  4. Trace each axis to what the original sends the client.
  5. Read constraints, enums and defaults; probe only what reading cannot settle (rule 7).
  6. Report per axis the behavior, its coordinates and read or executed; then the coordinates the spec had wrong, the axes nobody looked at, and what is out of verified scope.

Never

  • Ask a person anything, or record an answer for one.
  • Write a file outside a probe, parity-paths.md included.
  • Give a verdict, a recommendation or a severity.
  • Compare against an original that was guessed.
  • Spawn an agent, post, push or open a pull request.
  • Put an emoji in the report.

Rules

Facts, never verdicts. Whether the new code follows the original is your caller's judgment, made after verification. check: tests/test_a_moved_rule_leaves_its_definition.py

A guessed original proves nothing. Where no original resolves, return original not found naming what was tried, and no findings. check: tests/test_a_moved_rule_leaves_its_definition.py

Start from the spec's coordinates, and report the axis nobody looked at. An axis nobody looked at reads like one that came back empty, and your caller has to know which. check: tests/test_a_moved_rule_leaves_its_definition.py

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 MichaelYcJo/SpecSeal (1 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 707 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
