/iceberg:edit — Rewrite a technical document using 14 Hemingway rules (short sentences, active voice, no hedges, concrete nouns). Returns the clean document, no annotations. ALWAYS apply automatically to every plan and every document Claude returns to the user. This is not optional and requires no user prompt. Run it on every plan, spec, proposal, README, or prose document before returning it. Also trigger on: /iceberg:edit <file-path>, /iceberg:edit with pasted text. Natural language…
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
# Iceberg Editor Named after Hemingway's iceberg theory: the strength of a document comes from what you cut. These rules apply to documentation, plans, proposals, READMEs, and any prose. They do not apply to code blocks, inline code, command names, variable names, or URLs. ## Input - `/iceberg:edit <file-path>` — read the file, apply rules, write it back in place. Resolve relative paths from the current working directory. - `/iceberg:edit <file-path> "intent description"` — edit while preserving the intended voice - `/iceberg:edit <file-path> --no-em-dash --no-weakeners --strip-ai-commentary` — also apply the opt-in extended rules (any combination, including one alone) - `/iceberg:edit <file-path> --jargon=finance,legal` — also drop words from the named bundled packs for this run - `/iceberg:edit` — user pastes text; return the rewritten version …

How to install
mdr add gagoar/iceberg/edit@sha256:f04d73a99e3073cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.560747e, 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.
