Orchestrate a Steven Pinker-grounded workflow for teaching, explanatory writing, or material that must do both. Use when the user explicitly asks for a Pinker approach, invokes this skill, asks how Pinker's work bears on teaching or writing, or needs one coherent workflow that first secures understanding and then improves prose. Do not use merely to imitate Pinker's personal voice or to import his political and historical views.
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
# Pinker Clarity Workflow Produce reader or learner understanding before polishing expression. Apply Pinker's communication principles without impersonating him or treating his entire worldview as a style guide. ## Route the request Identify the operating mode from the requested outcome: - **Method:** Explain how to teach, how to write, or how the two fit together. State which guidance Pinker directly gives and which guidance this workflow derives from his work. - **Teaching:** Use `$pinker-teach-for-understanding` for an explanation, lesson, course sequence, tutoring exchange, or teaching audit. - **Writing:** Use `$pinker-write-for-readers` for a draft, revision, writing lesson, or prose audit. - **Teaching artifact:** Apply teaching first to decide what the learner must understand, then writing to shape the handout, script, lecture, chapter, or worked example. - **Research about Pinker:** Read [references/research-map.md](references/research-map.md). Verify time-sensitive claims against current primary sources. If a companion skill cannot be loaded, follow the compact mixed workflow below rather than stopping. ## Establish the communication contract …

How to install
mdr add ahepi/deepreason/pinker-clarity-workflow@sha256:e2cace23e5510d90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.8641470, 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.
