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

# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## What this is

A directory-based writing skill (`SKILL.md` plus `references/patterns.md`) that audits and rewrites content to remove AI writing patterns. The skill is a markdown file consumed by AI coding assistants; the repository also includes a dependency-free deterministic detector and test suite.

## Repository structure

- `SKILL.md` — entry instructions, severity tiers, preservation rules, and output formats.
- `references/patterns.md` — canonical word tiers, catalog, context and voice profiles.
- `SKILL.full.md` — generated full source for comparison and self-scan.
- `dist/avoid-ai-writing.md` — generated portable paste instructions.
- `README.md` — public-facing docs, installation instructions, pattern reference table, full before/after example.
- `CHANGELOG.md` — version history with what changed and why.

## How to make changes

Edit `SKILL.md` and `references/patterns.md` directly. When making changes:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing/CLAUDE.md@sha256:3c02886bc6d88468

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.9bfb467, 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.
