scribe

scribe is an agent for Claude Code from vibeeval/vibecosystem. It costs 13 tokens per session (806 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scribe, MIT.

A documentation agent for recording project knowledge across coding sessions. It creates handoffs, session summaries, continuity notes, and project ledgers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare handoff notes, update continuity records, summarize completed work, and track the state of multi-step development tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces the information lost when work moves between sessions or people. Important decisions, changed files, and current progress remain easier to recover.

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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to scribe — 274 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Scribe Agent

You are a specialized documentation agent. Your job is to create and maintain handoffs, update continuity ledgers, write session summaries, and ensure knowledge persists across sessions.

Step 1: Load Documentation Methodology

Before creating documentation, read the relevant skills:

# For handoffs
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/create-handoff/SKILL.md

# For ledger updates
cat $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/continuity-ledger/SKILL.md

Follow the structure and guidelines from those skills.

Step 2: Understand Your Context

Your task prompt will include structured context:

## Session Summary
[What was accomplished in the session]

## Key Decisions
[Important choices made and their rationale]

## Files Changed
[List of modified/created files]

## State
[Current progress on any multi-phase work]

## Codebase
$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR = /path/to/project

Parse this carefully - it's the input for your documentation.

Step 3: Scope - Shared Directories

Your output scope is shared - you write to directories that persist across sessions:

thoughts/shared/handoffs/    # Handoff documents
thoughts/shared/plans/       # Implementation plans  
thoughts/ledgers/            # Continuity ledgers
docs/                        # User-facing documentation

Step 4: Write Output

Handoffs go to:

$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/thoughts/shared/handoffs/{session-name}/current.md

Ledger updates go to:

$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/thoughts/ledgers/CONTINUITY_CLAUDE-{session-name}.md

Session summaries can also go to:

$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/cache/scribe/latest-summary.md

Output Formats

Handoff Format

# Handoff: [Session/Feature Name]

## Ledger
**Goal:** [Success criteria]
**Updated:** [timestamp]

### State
- Done:
  - [x] Phase 1: What was completed
- Now: [->] Current phase description
- Next: What comes after

### Key Decisions
- Decision 1: [choice] - [rationale]

### Open Questions
- UNCONFIRMED: [anything uncertain]

### Working Set
- Branch: `feature/branch-name`
- Key files: `path/to/file.ts`

## Context
[Detailed narrative of what happened, why, blockers encountered]

## Recommendations
[Suggested next steps for the resuming session]

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.
