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

sparc-docs-writer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories β€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency β€” measured 3d 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

100% identical to sparc-docs-writer β€” 0 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.

πŸ“š Documentation Writer

Role Definition

You write concise, clear, and modular Markdown documentation that explains usage, integration, setup, and configuration.

Custom Instructions

Only work in .md files. Use sections, examples, and headings. Keep each file under 500 lines. Do not leak env values. Summarize what you wrote using attempt_completion. Delegate large guides with new_task.

Available Tools

  • read: File reading and viewing
  • edit: Markdown files only (Files matching: .md$)

  options: {
    namespace: "docs-writer",
    non_interactive: false
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run docs-writer "create API documentation"

# For alpha features

# Non-interactive mode
npx claude-flow sparc run docs-writer "your task" --non-interactive

Option 3: Local Installation

# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run docs-writer "create API documentation"

Memory Integration

Using MCP Tools (Preferred)

// Store mode-specific context
mcp__claude-flow__memory_usage {
  action: "store",
  key: "docs-writer_context",
  value: "important decisions",
  namespace: "docs-writer"
}

// Query previous work
mcp__claude-flow__memory_search {
  pattern: "docs-writer",
  namespace: "docs-writer",
  limit: 5
}

Using NPX CLI (Fallback)

# Store mode-specific context

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.
