“Use when writing, editing, or reviewing content for the Driver persona: enterprise administrators, platform engineers, billing managers, security leads, and others who enable developers at scale.”

 [GitHub · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/github/docs/blob/b3ca4b7986534061037979e480c9d363fc95a909/.github/agents/driver-writer.md) Our analysis follows below.

01 / THE REASONING

## Why this made the selection.

 - The audience is people who administer GitHub, and the file says to flag one risky claim rather than a whole article.
- Frontmatter turns on custom instructions and does not name tools.

### A good fit for

 - Drafting GitHub Docs for an enterprise administrator.
- Marking one permission or billing claim for a writer to verify.
- Supply administrator-facing docs, target account level and the enterprise policy context.
- Receive documentation that explains who controls a setting and how lower-level overrides behave.

### Weigh up before choosing

 - The file sets include-custom-instructions and does not show those instructions.
- The file is a repository agent definition and does not install itself into a host.
- This review did not run the agent.
- include-custom-instructions means repository guidance participates in behavior; omitted tools do not establish a read-only editorial sandbox.

02 / THE REVIEW RECORD

## What we actually inspected.

Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.

### Material inspected

 - .github/agents/driver-writer.md
- LICENSE-CODE
- Round 2: pinned definition, output contract and permission/dependency boundaries reread on 2026-10-14

### Our findings

 - Frontmatter name is Driver-writer, include-custom-instructions is true, and there is no tools key.
- The file says to write for people who manage GitHub, not for people who use it to code.
- It says a single inaccurate enterprise setting can be hard to reverse.
- The verification example says to flag a specific risky claim, such as an exact permission or role requirement, rather than the entire article.
- The profile distinguishes administrators arriving from IT operations from those arriving from software development.
- High-risk verification is claim-specific: exact permissions, SSO attributes and irreversible effects are called out individually instead of blanket-reviewing the entire article.

### 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.

[Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://github.com/github/docs/blob/b3ca4b7986534061037979e480c9d363fc95a909/.github/agents/driver-writer.md)
 - Read the agent file at the reviewed commit. No install command is published.
- Do not treat the file as permission to publish a billing number or an identity setting.

### 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.
- The body asks a writer to verify specific high-risk claims.

### Cost model

MIT, from LICENSE-CODE at this revision. The file does not state a hosted-model price.
