tinker-doc

A set of instructions for writing, editing, and reviewing Apache TinkerPop documentation in AsciiDoc. TinkerPop is an open-source framework for working with graph databases, which store connected data such as people, places, and relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for reference pages, recipes, tutorials, upgrade notes, provider guides, developer guides, and changelog entries under the project’s documentation directory.
Why use it?
It helps keep documentation consistent with the project’s writing style, structure, and rules. It also explains how different documentation books serve different readers and purposes.

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

tinker-doc 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.

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.

TinkerPop Documentation Skill

This skill is about the craft of TinkerPop documentation: getting the voice, audience, and shape of each kind of document right. The mechanics that keep the build green (executable code blocks, AsciiDoc wiring) are covered in the references and matter, but they serve the writing, not the other way around.

All project documentation lives under docs/src/ and is AsciiDoc, never Markdown. It is organized into several books, each with its own audience and purpose. The four directories under docs/src/dev/ are themselves separate books, not one:

Book Path Audience Purpose
Reference docs/src/reference/ Users The complete, authoritative description of every feature and step
Recipes docs/src/recipes/ Users Reusable problem→solution patterns for real tasks
Tutorials docs/src/tutorials/ Users (learning) Story-driven walkthroughs of a focused topic
Upgrade docs/src/upgrade/ Users (upgrading) Announces what changed in a release and how to adapt
Provider docs/src/dev/provider/ Graph providers Implementation guidance, provider policies, and the canonical Gremlin semantics
IO docs/src/dev/io/ Providers and advanced users The serialization formats (GraphBinary, GraphSON, GraphML, Gryo)
Developer docs/src/dev/developer/ Contributors Contributing, development environment, committer and release process
Future docs/src/dev/future/ Contributors Design proposals for planned or possible changes

The full per-book voice guide, with grounded examples from the real docs, is in references/books-and-voice.md. Read it before writing in any book you have not written in before. The short version of each book's character:

  • Upgrade announces. It tells a feature's story — what changed and why it matters — and defers exhaustive detail to the reference docs via See: rather than cataloging every edge case itself. A typical entry is short: a paragraph or two and one example. It frames past shortcomings positively and treats breaking changes as a priority.
  • Reference and Recipes instruct. They are the focal point for correct usage and established patterns: complete, user-friendly, and formal.
  • Tutorials teach through a story but otherwise follow the Reference/Recipes style.
  • Provider documents internals in the Reference/Recipes style. The gremlin-semantics.asciidoc file is special and load-bearing (see below).
  • IO specifies the serialization formats in the same formal, complete style as Provider.
  • Developer docs are internal notes, instructions and standard processes for contributors.
  • Future holds design proposals for changes under consideration.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.

tinker-doc is a skill published in the GitHub repository apache/tinkerpop (2,144 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,893 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
