ccc-agent-writing

ccc-agent-writing is a skill for Claude Code from KevinZai/commander. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,235 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of writing guidance for coding agents that focuses on clear, testable specifications and documentation. It helps match the writing to its reader and intended outcome.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when drafting specifications, product requirements, pull-request descriptions, README sections, or other project documentation.
Why use it?
It reduces vague instructions that are difficult for developers or agents to follow and act on.

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

ccc-agent-writing 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 5d 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.

$ccc-agent-writing — Agent writing craft

Overview

Good writing is testable. If an agent (or a beginner developer) can't follow your doc, it's broken. This skill teaches agents to write specs, PRDs, PR descriptions, and documentation that are clear, persuasive, and structured to be acted on.

For long-form content and brand-voice alignment, delegate to the content-strategist persona.

Core Principle

Write for a reader, not for yourself. Every piece of writing has one reader and one outcome. Name them both before writing a word.

The Writing Process

Step 1: Define Reader + Outcome

Before writing anything:

  • Who is the reader? (junior dev, senior reviewer, product stakeholder, future-you)
  • What should they DO after reading? (approve, implement, understand, install)
  • What's the format? (spec, PRD, PR description, README section, runbook)

Step 2: Choose a Structure

Writing Type Structure
Spec / PRD Problem → Context → Requirements → Acceptance Criteria → Out-of-scope
PR Description Summary → Changes → Test plan → Screenshots (if UI)
README section What → Why → How (in that order)
Runbook Trigger → Steps → Expected result → Rollback
Technical doc Concept → Example → Edge cases → See also

Step 3: Lead with the Answer

Bury the lede = broken writing. The first sentence answers: "What is this and why do I care?"

  • ❌ "This PR refactors the authentication module to improve code quality and make future changes easier."
  • ✅ "Fixes a race condition in /login that created duplicate sessions under concurrent requests."

Step 4: The Scanability Test

Reviewers scan before they read. Your document should make sense at scan speed:

  1. Every section header is a complete thought, not a label
  2. Code examples for every non-trivial concept
  3. Bullet points for lists of 3+
  4. Tables for comparisons
  5. Bold the load-bearing words in each paragraph

Step 5: Persuasion (for PRDs and Specs)

When you need stakeholder buy-in, apply AIDA in order:

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.
