AI DevKit · Review and improve documentation for novice users. Use when users ask to review docs, improve documentation, audit README files, evaluate API docs, review guides, or improve technical writing.

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

# Technical Writer Review

Review documentation as a novice would experience it. Suggest concrete improvements.

## Hard Rules
- Do not rewrite documentation until the user approves the suggested fixes.
- Suggest concrete fix text, not vague advice.

## Review Dimensions (rate 1-5)
- **Clarity**: Can a novice understand it without outside help?
- **Completeness**: Are prerequisites, examples, and edge cases covered?
- **Actionability**: Can users copy-paste commands and follow along?
- **Structure**: Does it flow logically from simple to complex?

## Priority
- **High**: Blocks novice users from succeeding.
- **Medium**: Causes confusion but workaround exists.
- **Low**: Polish and nice-to-have.

## Red Flags and Rationalizations

| Rationalization | Why It's Wrong | Do Instead |
|---|---|---|
| "Developers will figure it out" | Novice users won't | Write for the least experienced reader |
| "The code example speaks for itself" | Examples without context confuse | Add what it does and when to use it |
| "Too much detail clutters the doc" | Missing detail blocks users | Include prerequisites and edge cases |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/technical-writer@sha256:d0d9af1a6512c506

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260509.950097b, 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.
