tech-writer

tech-writer is an agent for coding agents from Xipher-Labs/walter-os. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,107 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A technical writing agent for producing or revising documentation and other technical content. It covers materials such as READMEs, changelogs, API references, runbooks, architecture documents, and technical blog posts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document software, write README files, prepare release notes, draft technical articles, and explain systems or implementation details.
Why use it?
It removes the need to turn code and engineering decisions into finished prose yourself. It is meant for explaining technical work clearly to its intended readers.

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

tech-writer 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.

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.

The architecture document MUST reflect the reality of the code, not just the desired target state. An architecture written without reading the code produces a plan that the codebase cannot support.
