Learns the words a user habitually writes to their coding agent that make its answers worse ("be 100% sure", "don't assume", "full review", "are you sure?", "all fine, right?"), from what they actually typed in their recent Claude Code sessions. Shows what each one does, what went wrong after it, and what to say instead, then writes the habit words block that maps each word to the checks it should trigger, so the checks run without the words. Use when asked to learn, read, refresh or review…
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
# habit-words
"Be 100% sure" or "make it bug free" names no place to look, so it changes how sure the
answer sounds, not what gets checked. This skill finds the words this user writes, from
their own prompts, and maps each to the checks it should mean. The user never has to write
them again, and when they do, the words trigger the checks instead of a more certain tone.
The block this skill writes follows `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../setup-first-pass/assets/words-block.md`:
read it first, and keep its markers and shape.
## 1. Read the sessions
*Plugin:* `node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/cli.mjs" words` reads the user's last 20
Claude Code sessions that hold a prompt they typed (`--sessions <n>` for another number), from
`~/.claude/projects` (or `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/projects`). It writes only what they typed to a
temp file and prints the file's path, what it left out, the newest prompt's time, and how many
prompts hit each phrase family. Left out: tool output, pasted text, notifications, messages
from other sessions, skill and system text, commands, compaction summaries and turns a script

How to install
mdr add joetawil7/first-pass/habit-words@sha256:33ffeaf341bc2951The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.b12fce8, 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.
