Write one long piece — a teardown, a field report, or a build log — from the vault's own receipts, then cut it into the posts and comments that point back at it. Use when the user says "write an article", "a blog post", "a teardown of X", "we should write something like that piece", "turn this into an essay", or when the monthly strategy check-in says the lane needs a flagship. Also handles LinkedIn Articles and X Articles.
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
# Longform A post is worth a day. A good long piece is worth a quarter: it is the thing people link to, quote back at you, and remember you for, and it feeds four to six posts that each point at it. This is a format the plugin knows how to execute, not a ritual with a slot in the calendar. Use it when the user asks for it, or when the monthly strategy check-in proposes it as an experiment because the evidence says long pieces work in their lane. Do not schedule it on a hunch, and never pad one out: a thin long piece is worse than no long piece. ## 1. Does the material carry a long piece? Only three shapes earn the length, and each has an entry condition you can check in `stories/` before writing a word: - **Teardown** — the field is using a word wrong, and you can prove it mechanically. Needs: the artifact you are arguing with (a post, a doc, a product page, quoted exactly), *and* your own measured numbers. Without numbers of your own it is a complaint. - **Field report** — you ran something real for weeks and can say what happened. Needs: a start state, a change, an end state, and at least one thing that went wrong. …

How to install
mdr add harmix/open-stanley/longform@sha256:c4fe08057f05faa4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.1e4d992, 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.
