Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Documentation Manager 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Documentation Manager

Helps decide where to document things and maintain consistency across Pynchy docs.

Style Guide

  • Write for a user trying to achieve a goal. Don't chronicle the evolution of the codebase. Don't go into unnecessary technical details that are not relevant to the user's goal.
  • Follow the Google Style Guide. Write in the present tense. Don't use "we" or "they". Write in the active voice. Don't use "is" or "are".
  • Read docs/contributing/contributing-docs.md for the full documentation philosophy and information architecture rules.

Where to Document What

Quick decision tree:

New feature?

  • Architecture decision → docs/architecture/ (find the relevant topic file, or create a new one)
  • Installation requirement → docs/install.md
  • Security implication → docs/architecture/security.md
  • Development workflow change → .claude/skills/pynchy-dev/SKILL.md

Bug fix?

  • If it needs install change → docs/install.md
  • Usually: No doc update needed

Refactoring?

  • If user-visible → Update relevant docs
  • If internal only → No doc update

File Purposes

File What Goes There
README.md Philosophy, quick start, high-level overview
docs/install.md Complete installation guide
docs/architecture/security.md Security model, threat analysis
docs/architecture/index.md Architecture overview and links to topic pages
docs/architecture/*.md One topic per file (containers, routing, tasks, etc.)

Information Architecture Rules

  1. Single source of truth — Every concept explained in exactly one place. Cross-link, don't duplicate.
  2. Tree-shaped navigation — Root files have links + short summaries. Leaf files have the actual content.
  3. Small, focused files — One topic per file. If it covers multiple concerns, split it.

Validation

Before committing:

# Check for broken links
uv run mkdocs build --strict

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.

Documentation Manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository crypdick/pynchy (10 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 686 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
