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
# Trim Treat `/trim <path>` or "too verbose", "too complex", "simplify this" as a request to remove words, lines, and settings that carry nothing, while every fact, behavior, and the author's voice survive. Trimming is not summarizing: when the text is the deliverable (an article, a talk) and the user did not ask for a length, tighten sentences but keep its substance and length class. Arguments can set a target (`to 300 words`, `-40%`) or a scope. For code, [repository-maintenance](../repository-maintenance/SKILL.md) owns dead code and abstractions; apply these rules only with tests proving behavior. ## Workflow 1. **Measure**: record lines, words, and estimated tokens (characters / 4) before editing; for skill catalogs and instruction files also run `dot agent context --project . --details` (add `--source .` inside the fmind/dot checkout). ```bash wc -lwm <path> ``` …

How to install
mdr add fmind/dot/trim@sha256:52c9a9e84c3d2e7bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.18f5c20, 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.
