scribe

A guide for adding and maintaining Scribe technical articles in React websites built with Next.js or Vite. Scribe is publishing infrastructure for website content, not a standalone content-management system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to author, convert, validate, or troubleshoot articles written in Markdown, MDX, JSX, or semantic HTML.
Why use it?
It helps keep the existing site's design and ownership intact while avoiding integration errors and unnecessary changes to the host application.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 51 executable files (src/bootstrap.test.ts, src/bootstrap.ts, src/content-paths.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 scribe — 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Integrating Scribe

Principle

Use Scribe as publishing infrastructure inside the website the user already owns. Preserve its routing, deployment, content files, fonts, colors, spacing, and identity.

The host owns visual design. Scribe owns publishing structure and behavior.

When a broad request says to install Scribe or make a blog better, the default result is the existing host design with stronger publishing mechanics. Proceed with that preservation contract; do not stop to ask how extensively to redesign the site. Ask only when the repository contains genuinely conflicting visual directions or the requested change would alter product identity.

Prefer ordinary Markdown and semantic HTML. Use Scribe-specific components only when richer semantics or metadata are genuinely required.

Treat unexpected integration workarounds as possible Scribe defects. Do not silently patch around them in the host application.

Scribe is not a CMS, hosted platform, website builder, rich-text editor, proprietary format, collaboration system, or replacement for React, Next.js, HTML, or MDX.

Scribe 0.1.0-beta is a public beta. Package versions may use prerelease SemVer identifiers while the API is still evolving.

Inspect before changing

  1. Read the host repository instructions.
  2. Identify React, Next.js or Vite, MDX versions, package manager, component-map location, global stylesheet entry, theme mechanism, and production build command.
  3. Inspect the host’s fonts and CSS tokens. Reuse them; do not impose a Scribe font or redesign the site.
  4. Find one representative article containing headings, code, tables, and images.
  5. Confirm installed Scribe packages and keep their prerelease versions aligned.

Expected packages are @scribe-sdk/react, @scribe-sdk/styles, @scribe-sdk/mdx, and development-only @scribe-sdk/cli. Read the installed Scribe README and SKILL.md before integrating. Depending on the installed package, these are available under paths such as node_modules/@scribe-sdk/react/README.md and node_modules/@scribe-sdk/react/SKILL.md. Use the packaged copies rather than relying on remembered APIs.

What ships with it

58 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
