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
# Editorial Review ## Overview Run the workflows that involve people outside the agent: briefing and paying sensitivity and authenticity readers, a real-people and defamation-risk pass, permissions for quoted material, an AI-use disclosure statement, editorial rounds with human editors, and collaboration between co-authors. The skill prepares materials, tracks state in frontmatter, and flags risks. It does not give legal advice, it does not contact anyone, and it never records a permission, review, or disclosure the user has not confirmed. ## Prerequisites A story project with `story.md` in the root and drafted chapters. Git is needed for snapshot tags, `story compare --ref`, and the collaboration workflow; offer `git init` if the project has none. ## When to Use - A book portrays a culture, identity, disability, faith, trade, or experience the author does not share - Fiction features or resembles real, identifiable people or organisations - The manuscript quotes lyrics, poems, epigraphs, or other writers' prose - A passage may echo a source, an earlier book, or another writer too closely - The user needs an AI-use statement for a retailer, agent, or publisher …

How to install
mdr add danjdewhurst/story-skills/editorial-review@sha256:14e7bcc52ec47a4dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.e86f75d, 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.
