synthesis-writing-craft skillA
synthesis-writing-craft is agent-read markdown (skill) from synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills: Positive writing principles synthesized from the centuries-old writing-craft tradition. Covers sentence-level craft, paragraph and pacing, voice and honesty, structure (openings and closings), process and discipline, and revision. Intended as an operating guide for AI agents working on a writer's behalf — not teaching material for human writers, not a substitute for the canonical books on the recommended-reading list. Use alongside synthesis-content-quality (AI-pattern detection) and synthesis-w.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-writing-craft@v1.1.0mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-writing-craft@sha256:ce92b58c533eb8f6Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
