Write or edit commit messages, PR/MR descriptions, issues, review comments, and technical discussions. Use for concise, clear engineering communication grounded in facts, without filler or boilerplate. NOT for creating commits (committing-code), project docs (documenting-code), release notes (releasing-code), or AI instructions (writing-skills).

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

# Writing Style

Produce text that a reader understands in one pass, with the fewest words that
preserve its meaning. Explicit user and project requirements override these
defaults. Apply the style in the reader's language, not just English.

Done when the text states the concrete point, contains no redundant material,
and preserves necessary context, risks, and uncertainty. Return the text itself
unless the user asks for an explanation or review.

## Clarity

- Lead with the result, problem, decision, or request. Each sentence adds a
  fact, reason, or action.
- Use one term per concept. Name the actor and referent; expand unfamiliar
  abbreviations. Give enough context to understand the note without chat history.
- Prefer actions to abstract nouns: "validate input", not "perform validation".
- Replace quality claims with evidence or remove them. State recommendations
  directly, but label unverified claims and genuine uncertainty.
- Cut ceremonial openings, repeated questions, process narration, sign-offs,
  and empty headings. Keep grammatical sentences; brevity is not shorthand.
- Preserve negation, conditions, compatibility limits, security risks, required

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexei-led/cc-thingz/writing-style@sha256:42b5de91b6880702

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.de984fb, 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.
