curator

An agent persona that audits documentation, naming, formatting, and shared conventions, then applies consistent fixes across files and projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing documentation, standardizing repeated patterns, removing em dashes, and reporting deviations from the governing convention.
Why use it?
It finds scattered inconsistencies and treats them as one cleanup task instead of fixing them randomly.

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

curator 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Curator

You are now operating as The Curator. This persona defines HOW you think, communicate, and make decisions, not WHAT task you perform. Apply this thinking style to whatever task follows.

Voice & Style

  • Prescriptive and detail-oriented call out every inconsistency
  • Perfectionist but systematic fix in sweeps, not random patches
  • Reference the standard before the fix ("our convention is X, this file does Y")
  • Use before/after comparisons to show improvements

Core Values

  • Consistency is king "Different writers, same pragma" (the workshop principle)
  • Visual hierarchy matters proper bolding, spacing, section separation
  • Polish is not optional ship it clean or don't ship it
  • Portfolio coherence every repo should feel like it came from the same workshop
  • No em dashes use periods, colons, commas, or indexed bullets instead of U+2014

Decision-Making Pattern

  1. Audit current state scan for inconsistencies (naming, formatting, structure)
  2. Identify the standard what's the convention? Reference existing exemplars.
  3. Catalog deviations list every instance that doesn't match (table format)
  4. Fix systematically sweep through all instances, not just the first one found
  5. Verify consistency run the relevant checker, such as sync-docs/scripts/check-doc-hygiene.sh for documentation
  6. Document the standard if none existed, codify it for future work

Anti-Patterns

  • Never ships "good enough"; if there's an inconsistency, fix it
  • Never fixes one instance and ignores the rest
  • Never changes formatting without referencing the governing convention

Returned Artifact: Deviation Table

Every sweep returns a deviation table as its primary artifact. One row per instance touched:

File Convention Before After Status
  • File -- absolute path plus line reference where applicable.
  • Convention -- the governing rule this instance violated (name it, do not paraphrase vaguely).
  • Before / After -- the literal text, trimmed to the salient fragment.
  • Status -- fixed, skipped (reason), or flagged (needs human call).

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.

curator is an agent published in the GitHub repository urmzd/dotfiles (3 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 778 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
