Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - .github/agents/builder-writer.md - LICENSE-CODE - Round 2: pinned definition, output contract and permission/dependency boundaries reread on 2026-10-14 ### Our findings - Frontmatter name is Builder-writer, include-custom-instructions is true, and there is no tools key. - The file says to lead with examples and to cover the command line and API, not only the web UI. - It says a draft that drifts into governing a tool across an organization is Driver territory and should be split out. - It says the reader is a somewhat experienced developer and does not need coding basics. - It marks illustrative approaches as examples instead of implying they are the only supported implementation. - Organization-wide governance belongs in separate Driver content; cross-surface guidance explains how CLI, IDE and web workflows fit together. ### Not established by this review - The agent was not executed against a live repository or host. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Use the role in your project.

No install command is published. - Do not treat the file as permission to mix an enterprise-admin rollout into a Builder article. ### Before you start - A checkout of github/docs at the reviewed commit ### Compatibility A GitHub Copilot agent markdown file ### Implementation Markdown ### Prompt text. Frontmatter does not name tools. include-custom-instructions is true. - No tool allowlist is declared. ### Cost model MIT, from LICENSE-CODE at this revision.
