Use when revising or reviewing scientific, technical, or academic manuscripts, proposals, abstracts, reports, or related writing for precision, concision, logical cohesion, citation support, evidence alignment, and objective scholarly tone.

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

# Manuscript Writing

Improve academic writing while preserving the author's technical meaning. Use the [revision checklist](references/revision-checklist.md) as the single editing rubric; read it before either mode.

## Mode and Scope

- `revision`: for edit, revise, rewrite, polish, or tighten requests. Apply supported changes to the prose.
- `review`: for comments, feedback, critique, or suggestions. Preserve the manuscript body and place proposed changes in feedback.
- Both requested: review first, then revise; create separate outputs from the original source. Infer the mode from the deliverable; ask only if it remains ambiguous.

Read the full relevant material and identify the requested scope, audience, venue, and output format. Explicit user and venue constraints override stylistic defaults. For a narrow task, such as abbreviation cleanup, apply only relevant checks and do not expand it into a scientific audit.

## Evidence Rules

- Preserve scope, certainty, mechanisms, conditions, causal relationships, baselines, and numerical meaning unless available evidence supports a correction. Identify substantive corrections and their support in the revision log.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yslab-ai/manuscript-writing/manuscript-writing@sha256:45f95a05281ed624

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.fbc5bda, 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.
