agent-documentation-writer

agent-documentation-writer is a skill for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 41 tokens per session (396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical documentation specialist for READMEs, API references, architecture guides, and code comments. API documentation explains how other software can use an application's functions or endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write setup guides, configuration and usage instructions, endpoint descriptions, architecture explanations, code comments, examples, and Mermaid diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps turn code and system design into instructions that developers can follow, maintain, and use without reading the entire implementation.

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

agent-documentation-writer 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 16d 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.
