reference-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HappyMonkeyAI/AgentsProtocol. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,075 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of reference-builder, MIT.

A guide for writing complete technical references and API documentation. An API is an agreed way for software components to communicate, while configuration documentation explains available settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create API references, configuration guides, searchable documentation, and detailed technical specifications.
Why use it?
It helps readers find exact parameters, options, examples, relationships, and edge cases in one organized reference.

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

reference-builder 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 1mo 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

94% identical to reference-builder — 10 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.
