Rewrite, check, or draft prose so it carries no AI writing tells, reads plainly on the first read, and keeps every source fact. Use when asked to make writing plainer or free of those tells, to check writing for them, or when drafting from supplied content. Use ce-promote for channel-specific marketing copy.

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

# Write without slop

Prose that carries no AI tells and that a reader understands on the first read, with every fact the source stated still there. Both goals hold at once: text that is free of tells but still dense has failed, and text that is plain but changes how certain a claim is has failed.

**Done:** the mode's output is returned, every fact, number, name, quote, and citation in the input survives, and nothing was added that the source or the caller did not supply.

**Boundaries:** never touch code blocks, quoted text, frontmatter, link targets, identifiers, or a token the caller's own contract requires, unless the user names that content as the thing to fix. Never say whether text was written by a model. Write a named file in place only when the request asks for that; otherwise return the text.

## Mode

Take a `mode:` token when one is given. Otherwise: no draft means **author**; an imperative on a draft means **edit**; a question about a draft means **detect**.

- **author.** Hold the tests below while the caller writes; return nothing. When handed content and asked to write, draft it under the same tests.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin/ce-noslop@sha256:094ed83e1e8e67ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.c1c176e, 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.
