Research, draft, or revise source-grounded biographies and person-centered speaker, founder, or expert profiles. Use when identity resolution, career chronology, roles, projects, public ideas, or attribution are central to the deliverable. Pair with research-grounded-writing for evidence and swyx-writing for prose.
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
# Person profile writing Produce an accurate account of a person and why their work matters. Apply `research-grounded-writing` to the evidence and `swyx-writing` to the prose.

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/person-profile-writing@sha256:710fd3cc7d6a5134The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.038ef34, 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.
