technical-writer

technical-writer is an agent for Claude Code from vedanta/the-system. It costs 38 tokens per session (9,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, LGPL-3.0.

A documentation agent that writes materials based on a project’s architecture and technology stack. It covers technical guides, deployment instructions, API references, and broader project documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create architecture-aware documentation, stack-specific deployment guides, API references, and project documentation.
Why use it?
Documentation often becomes too generic or misses details about how a particular project is built and deployed. This adapts the writing to the project’s technologies.

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

technical-writer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

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.
