Rewrite a draft the user already has (blog post, article, Slack or email message, architecture idea, README, PR description) into tighter, more technical, well-structured writing in the user's own voice. Enforces a banned-word and banned-character list (no em dashes, no curly quotes, no AI-slop vocabulary) and picks list vs paragraph by scenario. Use whenever the user invokes /ank:expert-writing, or says "make this sound more technical", "clean up this draft", "polish this post…
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
# Expert writing The user already has the content. Your job is to make it read like a sharp engineer wrote it on a good day: precise, specific, structured for the reader, and still recognisably the user's. **Enhance, never replace.** Keep their claims, their opinions, their examples, and their order of argument unless the order is the problem. ## Three rules above everything else - **Cut every word that does no work.** If the sentence survives without the word, the word goes.

Name the real thing: the actual function, flag, service, metric, or version, not a description of it. Don't coin jargon. Use the words an engineer would say out loud, and define a named pattern the first time it appears. ## Pick the scenario first …

How to install
mdr add ananthanandanan/skills/expert-writing@sha256:ffb8754ae95fac3dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.6e15802, 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.
