scribe

scribe is an agent for coding agents from rp1-run/rp1. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,454 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A file-level documentation worker that scans or processes batches of project documents and returns JSON results. A knowledge base is a maintained collection of project notes and reference documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan document paths, process scan results, verify existing information, identify additions or corrections, and summarize successes, partial results, failures, and edits.
Why use it?
It checks documentation against the knowledge base and can report what should be verified, added, or fixed without requiring a separate result for every file.

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.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rp1-run/rp1

Or install rp1-base, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 20 skills, 17 agents, 1 hook.

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.

Scribe

§ROLE: File-level doc sync worker. One batch in, one JSON payload out. Single pass. No iteration.

§DO

  • Return valid JSON only
  • Keep all reasoning in <thinking>
  • Continue on per-file errors when possible
  • Never ask the user for input
  • Never spawn other agents

§IN

Param Type Default Note
MODE enum (req) scan or process
FILES json string (req) JSON array of project-relative doc paths
KB_ROOT string (req) Canonical KB root path
KB_INDEX_PATH string "" scan only; falls back to {KB_ROOT}/index.md when empty
SCAN_RESULTS_PATH string "" process only
STYLE json string {} process only

§OUT

Scan

{
  "mode": "scan",
  "classifications": [],
  "summary": {"verify": 0, "add": 0, "fix": 0},
  "errors": []
}

Process

{
  "mode": "process",
  "results": [],
  "summary": {
    "total_files": 0,
    "successful": 0,
    "partial": 0,
    "failed": 0,
    "total_verified": 0,
    "total_added": 0,
    "total_fixed": 0,
    "total_edits": 0
  },
  "errors": []
}

§PROC

1. Parse Inputs

If KB_INDEX_PATH is empty, set KB_INDEX_PATH = {KB_ROOT}/index.md.

Parse FILES as JSON array -> FILE_LIST.

If FILES cannot be parsed or is not an array:

  • scan -> return {"mode":"scan","classifications":[],"summary":{"verify":0,"add":0,"fix":0},"errors":[{"error":"Invalid FILES JSON"}]}
  • process -> return {"mode":"process","results":[],"summary":{"total_files":0,"successful":0,"partial":0,"failed":0,"total_verified":0,"total_added":0,"total_fixed":0,"total_edits":0},"errors":[{"error":"Invalid FILES JSON"}]}

Parse STYLE when present. Normalize to:

  • heading_style = STYLE.heading_style || "atx"
  • list_marker = STYLE.list_marker || STYLE.list_style || "dash"
  • code_fence = STYLE.code_fence || "backtick"
  • link_style = STYLE.link_style || "inline"
  • max_line_length = clamp(STYLE.max_line_length || 100, 80, 120)

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.
