Write a public post in the owner's own voice with a role model's style and idea palette layered on top, reading a style-palette file so the same engine works for any thinker the owner has profiled. Draft-first. Triggers: "/speak-as <name>", "write in the style of <X>".
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
# /speak-as <role model> — a post in the owner's voice through the chosen thinker's optics > 🧒 **When reporting to a non-technical owner:** end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap (only in the reply TO him, NEVER inside the post draft). A thin writing engine, **parameterized by the role model**: it takes the **style palette of the chosen thinker** + **the owner's voice** + **his real material on the topic** and writes ONE post as a mix — "frame/optics from the role model, voice/confessional tone/concreteness from the owner". One engine for any role model (one person today, anyone tomorrow). A manual command "write a post in the style of X about Y" (≠ the daily [[content-factory]], ≠ the `/portret` dossier). > [!warning] SAFETY FUSE (read this first) > - ⭐ **The owner's authorial voice is written by the top-tier model or stronger** (a cheap model is forbidden for authorial text — a carve-out of `model-routing-sonnet-grunt`). Session weaker than that → delegate the WRITING itself to a top-model subagent (`Agent`, `model:'opus'`); the groundwork (resolving the role model, recall, choosing the platform) can run on the cheap model. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/speak-as@sha256:9bdcf2b8993978f8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
