Review any prose against its register''s writing standard — a README, a spec, a design doc, a blog post, marketing copy, or a draft you paste in. Detects whether the text is documentation or human-voiced writing, applies that register''s rules plus the rules holding in both, and reports graded findings with the fix. Use when checking a document''s style, asking whether a draft reads as AI-written, reviewing writing before publishing, or asking for a writing review outside a manifest run.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# review-writing — review prose in its own register

Report where a text departs from the writing standard that governs it. Review only: you find and
explain, the author decides and edits.

## Input

`$ARGUMENTS` carries what to review — a file path, a directory, a glob, or pasted text. It may
also name a register explicitly (`register=docs`, `register=voice`) to override detection. A
manifest gate's Evidence activates this skill with a register under the run's selected evaluator; the
gate names the register and its caller-chosen acceptance policy.

With no argument, review the most recently modified prose file in the working tree and say which
one you picked. If that is ambiguous or nothing prose-shaped has changed, ask what to review
rather than guessing.

## Registers and thresholds

Two registers, each with its own rules. Classify findings by consequence; the caller supplies any acceptance policy:

| Register | What it covers | Rules |
|----------|----------------|-------|
| `docs` | Specs, proposals, reports, formal and technical documentation, READMEs, reference material, API docs | `../define/references/DOCS-STYLE-REFERENCE.md` |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/review-writing@sha256:a93ac9e29f0a5f6c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.e3448e3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
