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

# simple_english

Lint Markdown prose and code comments with the SimpleEnglish Plain-mode rules. Pattern
rules run on LanguageTool (`rules/simple-english.xml`). Counting rules run in Ruby.

## Docs

- `README.md` is the user guide (lint prose). `docs/DAEMON.md` holds
  the daemon HTTP API
- `docs/RULES.md` lists every rule in prose. Regenerate it with
  `bin/render-rules` after a rule change.
- `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` is the dev guide (layout, tests, rules).
  `docs/RELEASING.md` holds the release flow (prepare, merge, publish)

## Branches

- Never commit on the default branch. Prefix branch names with your
  own handle to show ownership. Release prep uses `release/vX.Y.Z`.

## GitHub

- Follow the repo's templates. Issues go through the forms in
  `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`. Pull requests use
  `.github/pull_request_template.md`. Fill their sections as written.
  Do not bypass a template by passing `--body` to `gh`.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` holds the process: false findings get an issue
  first, not a direct fix. Pull requests are drafts.
- A pull request that touches `.github/workflows/` follows the action
  pinning rules in `.github/AGENTS.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add tonycthsu/simple-english/AGENTS.md@sha256:f9ffdd3337546de3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.139006a, 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.
