technical-writer

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 38 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 9,413 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 1 finding. Scan, not verified.
Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
