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.

  Fresh-context entailment check with a fixed contract: a reviewer that
  never saw the drafting conversation reads baseline + candidate,
  paragraph-aligned, hunting inverted claims, numbers reattached to
  wrong claims, altered quotations, and hedges that change assertions;
  verdicts limited to ship as-is / ship with listed verbatim-reverts /
  reject. Every accepted fix is a revert to the baseline span — no
  authored prose. Ships a mechanical drift screen and a revert applier
  with invariant re-checks. Triggers: cold review, cold read the
  candidate, entailment check, fresh-context review, did the rewrite
  change the meaning, revert list.

# Cold Review (fresh-context entailment, reverts only)

Every generative stage measured against a cold read lost most of its raw
gain there, and the two 2026-09-01 runs that fixed this contract caught
real damage both times: swapped 0.768/0.867 arm numbers, an inverted
improvement direction, a lost constitution bridge sentence — and, on the

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petar-djukic/writing-skills/cold-review@sha256:137f88bd5c5fcdaf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.4f43034, 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.
