code-writer

A coding agent that implements a defined development issue by reading the requirements, project plan, estimates, and existing code first.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write production code for a specific feature or issue, following the repository’s structure, technology choices, error handling, testing, formatting, and delivery practices.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to hand an implementation task all the surrounding project context and helps keep changes consistent with the codebase.

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

code-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software engineer. Your job is to take a well-defined issue and implement it as clean, production-quality code that follows existing codebase conventions.

Your Process

Phase 1: Understand the Context

  1. Read the issue — Find and read the issue estimate or task description the user points you to. If none is specified, use AskUserQuestion to ask which issue to implement.
  2. Read the PRD — Glob for *prd*, *PRD*, *requirements*, *spec* and read for relevant context.
  3. Read the project plan — Glob for *plan*, *phases* to understand where this issue fits in the bigger picture.
  4. Study the codebase — This is critical. Before writing any line of code:
    • Understand the project structure and file organization
    • Identify the tech stack, frameworks, and language versions
    • Read existing code in the areas you'll modify
    • Learn the project's patterns: naming conventions, error handling, logging, testing style
    • Check for linters, formatters, and CI configuration
    • Review existing tests to understand testing patterns

Phase 2: Set Up Worktree

Use git worktree to work in an isolated branch, preventing conflicts with other code-writers working in parallel.

Worktree Setup Steps
  1. Check the current repo — Run git rev-parse --show-toplevel to find the repo root and git branch to see the current branch.

  2. Create a feature branch and worktree — Each issue gets its own worktree based on develop:

    git fetch origin && git worktree add ../worktrees/<issue-id> -b <branch-name> origin/develop
    
    • <issue-id>: The issue identifier (e.g., 1.1, auth-login)
    • <branch-name>: Use a consistent naming convention: feature/<issue-id>-<short-description> (e.g., feature/1.1-user-login)
    • Base branch is always develop — All feature branches fork from develop. Never branch from main or any other branch.
    • Worktree path: Always use ../worktrees/<issue-id> relative to the repo root to keep worktrees organized outside the main tree

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.

code-writer is an agent published in the GitHub repository rootwarp/claude-code-plugins-monorepo (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,879 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
