Read-only pre-commit lint over writer/prose-edit/essay-write. Takes a staged diff (or a specified file / commit range) and flags neuro-slop, synthetic structures, voice drift in prose. Read-only — never edits. Use before `git commit`, as a post-commit check, or as a pre-commit hook.
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
<objective> Universal read-only style linter for prose projects. Does not write, does not edit, does not commit — only checks. Use cases: - before `git commit` — check staged changes for neuro-slop - post-commit — check the last commit - manual run on a file / line range - pre-commit hook (if the user wires it into `.git/hooks/pre-commit`) The skill picks which rule layer to apply (writer / prose-edit / essay-write) based on file path. Default routing is illustrative; configure your own path patterns — see [references/routing.md](references/routing.md): - fiction project files (e.g. `fiction/*.md`, `novels/**/*.tex`) → fiction layer (prose-edit) - non-fiction project files (e.g. `essays/*.md`, `longreads/*.md`) → non-fiction layer (essay-write) - generic prose / notes → base writer - code files (`.py`, `.js`, `.ts`, …) → skipped silently </objective> <instructions> ## DEPENDENCY This skill applies rules from: - `writer/SKILL.md` — baseline anti-neuro-slop (25 categories) + structural synthetic markers - `prose-edit/SKILL.md` — fiction layer - `essay-write/SKILL.md` — non-fiction layer The skill DOES NOT write or edit. It reads files, runs rules, returns a structured report. …

How to install
mdr add mikefluff/skills/style-check@sha256:d6322ddebffd7771The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
