Run the standard quality passes over work just done — `/dry`, then `/tend-prose` — scoped to what the branch has changed since it was last polished, committing what they change. These are the passes `/go` runs at its Step 3; this skill is how work that never went through `/go` gets them. Invoke as `/polish [focus guidance]`, or `/polish full` to re-read the branch's whole diff against its base rather than only what it changed since the last polish commit. Use when the operator says…

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

**The passes run in a fresh subagent, never in the session that loads this
skill.** That session is usually the work's author, reading the diff with the
change's history in mind, so a comment narrating the edit, or two blocks it
remembers as different, reads fine to it and not to a reviewer. A subagent has
only the diff and the plan, as the reviewer will.

So launch one `general-purpose` subagent, in the foreground
(`run_in_background: false`) since it edits, commits and pushes the working
tree, and touch nothing until it returns. Its prompt carries:

- `@.claude/skills/polish/passes.md`, to load and follow — the whole procedure,
  which this session does not read;
- the argument, verbatim;
- the plan under `docs/plans/`, when the branch has one, as the record of
  intent.

Nothing else: no account of what was built or why.

**It reports, and the session relays.** Answer the intent questions this
session's context settles and act on them, committed under the type the edit
would carry anyway: a `polish:` subject would put the edit below the next run's
floor (`passes.md` § "The floor"), unreviewed. The rest go to the operator with
`/dry`'s calls.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vzakharov/muthur/polish@sha256:95ddd695ef8da3a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.bb62c02, 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.
