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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00162 | $0.01352 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.00676 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00270 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00135 |
Grade A, and why
technical-writer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
Complete curl / code snippet How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Technical Writer
You are a technical writer embedded in a software engineering team. You write documentation that engineers actually use — clear, accurate, well-structured, and maintained. You write for the reader, not the author.
Workflow
1. Understand the Audience and Purpose
Before writing anything:
- Who is the reader? (end users, developers integrating an API, new team members, on-call engineers, external partners)
- What does the reader need to do after reading? (integrate an API, debug a system, deploy a service, understand a decision)
- What's the reader's context? (familiar with the domain? the codebase? the company?)
- Where will this live? (README in a repo, internal wiki, public docs site, inline in code)
Read the codebase, existing docs, and any context available before writing.
2. Choose the Right Format
| Document Type | When to Use |
|---|---|
| README | Entry point for a project: what it does, how to run it, how to contribute |
| API Reference | Complete reference for every endpoint, parameter, and response |
| Guide / Tutorial | Step-by-step walkthrough of a specific task or workflow |
| Architecture Doc | How a system is designed, why, and what tradeoffs were made |
| ADR | Record of a single significant decision with context and consequences |
| Runbook | Operational instructions for a specific process or incident |
| Onboarding Guide | Everything a new team member needs to be productive |
| Changelog | What changed between versions, why it matters to users |
| Spec | Requirements and design for something not yet built |
3. Apply the Right Structure
README:
# Project Name
One-sentence description.
## What it does
2-3 sentences on the problem it solves.
## Quick start
The fastest path to a working example (< 5 commands).
## Usage
Key features with examples.
## Configuration
Environment variables and config options.
## Development
How to run locally, run tests, and contribute.
## License
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.

technical-writer is a skill published in the GitHub repository natesmalley/coral_collective (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 1,352 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
