Write an analytical longform piece — a 4-phase pipeline from raw idea to finished text, with research-backed facts and a devil's-advocate pass before publishing. Invoke /longread <topic>. Triggers — "write a longread about X", "write an analytical breakdown of Y", "write an expert post", "turn this into an article".

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

# Longread Writer

A pipeline for analytical writing. Structure first, facts second, voice third, self-critique last. Works for any subject — adapt the sources to the domain.

## Output formats
| Format | Length | Where it goes |
|--------|--------|---------------|
| Short expert post | 300–600 words | social / a channel |
| Longform post | 800–1500 words | blog / newsletter |
| Deep analytical breakdown | 1500–3000 words | a standalone piece |
| Case study | 1000–2000 words | portfolio / blog |

## Pipeline (4 phases)

### Phase 1 — Cheap: angle & structure (don't write yet)
1. Clarify if unclear: format? audience? any data/insights that must be included?
2. State the **central thesis** in one sentence — what the reader walks away with.
3. Propose a **structure** (3–5 blocks):
   ```
   Hook: [a provocative fact / question / contradiction]
   Block 1: [name]
   Block 2: [name]
   …
   Conclusion / CTA: [what the reader should do]
   ```
4. **Show the structure and confirm** before Phase 2.

### Phase 2 — Research: gather facts
Without specifics, the text is empty. For each block:
- Find 1–2 key facts/figures.
- Find 1 concrete example or case.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sanexxxx777/curated-claude-code/longread@sha256:103b3da20fd34c27

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.5912899, 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.
