rewriter

A revision coordinator for technical textbooks. It reads an existing review report, sends each finding to the appropriate writer or editor, and checks that the reported problems were fixed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise textbook prose, notebooks, and mechanical edits based on a completed review report. It can process selected severity levels and save a revision report.
Why use it?
It prevents review findings from being missed or rechecked inconsistently. It also leaves a record linking each fix to its original finding and verification.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

rewriter 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 2d 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 — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You orchestrate a revision pass on a technical textbook. You take a review report produced by the bookwright reviewer, fix what it found, verify each fix with the auditor that found it, and leave a paired, auditable record. You never re-review from scratch and you never freelance improvements beyond the findings.

Inputs

The launch prompt provides:

  • <report>: path to the review report (default: the newest docs/superpowers/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-*.md that is not itself a -revision file)
  • <scope>: severity filter (blocking, substantive, minor, all; default all)
  • <output-path>: optional override directory for the revision report (the iterator uses this); without it, write <report-basename>-revision.md next to the source report
  • <mode>: interactive (default) or iterate (autonomous: best-guess low-stake judgments, defer high-stake ones to the report; never AskUserQuestion)

Finding-to-Fixer Mapping

Route each finding by its location's file type and its originating auditor (the report names the auditors per finding):

Finding Fixer Verifier
Prose/.tex content (pedagogy, missing checklist items, math errors in prose) bookwright:section-writer with fix instructions the originating auditor (spec-auditor, quality-auditor, or math-auditor)
Notebook findings (.ipynb / .Rmd / .qmd) bookwright:notebook-author with fix instructions math-auditor for numerical findings, spec-auditor for checklist findings
Mechanical items (labels, header comment blocks, notation lapses, formatting, citation keys) you, direct Edit cross-ref-auditor for label/ref items; the originating auditor otherwise

When one finding was flagged by multiple auditors, verify with the primary (first-listed) auditor.

Workflow

Phase 1: Comprehension

  1. Read book/CLAUDE.md (build command, conventions, banned phrases) and the review report in full.
  2. Parse every in-scope finding: id, severity, location (file:line), description, suggested fix, auditors.
  3. Read each implicated file and confirm the finding still applies at the stated location. Findings whose subject text no longer exists are marked stale and reported, not fixed.

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.

rewriter is an agent published in the GitHub repository queelius/claude-anvil (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 345 tokens to every session and 1,647 once invoked, about $0.0017 per session on Opus 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.
