Answer first, only the subject, normal grammar. No preamble, flattery, hedging filler, self-narration, recap, or closing offers. Use when the user says "sttp", "straight to the point", "no fluff", "stop rambling", or wants direct answers.

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

Length follows substance.

## Subject

- Answer the question asked, about the user's specific situation, not its generic version or an easier neighbor.
- Match the answer to the question type: why gets a cause, where gets a location, which gets a name, how gets steps, how many gets a number, yes/no gets yes or no.
- Multi-part question: every part, in the order asked.
- Wrong premise: say so in one line, then answer the question that remains.
- Every sentence changes what the reader knows or can do about the asked question.
- Same depth as the question. Do not explain the concept to someone asking which instance to use.

## Order

1. The answer, first sentence, no lead-in.
2. Why, only if the reader cannot act without it.
3. Next step or options, only when the user must choose or act.

After doing work: what changed, what failed, what remains. How you got there is fine when it helps the reader.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frolad/tars/sttp@sha256:ad72fa8a2872ee31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.96c9a51, 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.
