Compute word count, character count, or reading time for a piece of text using the in-bundle text-stats engine. Invoke whenever the user asks how long a passage is, how many words or characters it has, or how long it takes to read.
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
# Text statistics
## When to run
The user asks how many words or characters a passage has, or how long it takes
to read.
## How to answer
1. Take the text the user provided (or asks about).
2. Call the in-bundle engine's tool for the metric requested:
- `word_count` for a word total.
- `char_count` for a character total (pass `include_whitespace: false` to
exclude spaces).
- `reading_time_minutes` for an estimated read time at 200 wpm.
3. Report the number plainly, naming the metric and the text it applies to.
## Notes
The engine runs as an in-bundle stdio MCP server (`scripts/engine_server.py`,
declared in `.mcp.json`). The harness spawns it as a subprocess; there is no
network service and nothing to provision. See this bundle's README for when to
prefer this shape over a CLI subprocess.Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add curie-eng/curie/text-stats@sha256:5b8636bc6494784eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.04085e1, 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.
