Use when writing German-language prose longer than one sentence for Jira tickets, internal German wiki/spec docs, or team-chat to German-speaking colleagues (Slack, Matrix, Teams). Invoke BEFORE composing. Covers anglicism verbs (failt, triggern, returnen), calqued collocations and idioms (blockiert auf, macht Sinn, in 2026), loanword genders (der Commit, die Pipeline), per-artifact register (impersonal for Jira/wiki, ich/du for chat), German typography…

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

# German Technical Writing

Natural German technical register for German-audience artifacts — not English-first composition phrase-translated into DeepL-German.

## Process

1. **Compose in German directly**, not by translating. Restart if you catch yourself drafting English first.
2. **Self-review each sentence** against `references/anti-patterns.md` — verbs, collocations, idioms, Amtsdeutsch.
3. **Apply the lexicon** — canonical verbs and loanword gender: `references/lexicon.md`.
4. **Match register per artifact** — impersonal for Jira/wiki, ich/du for chat: `references/register.md`.
5. **Typography & rhythm** — Gedankenstrich, Durchkopplung; each mechanism explained once, varied sentence shapes and openings, no verdict sentence after an example: `references/typografie-rhythmus.md`.
6. **Verständlichkeit** — unambiguous references, conditions kept while shortening, structure over word count: `references/cognitive-accessibility.md`.
7. **No editorializing** — say what changed, not how good the work is: `references/no-editorializing.md`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add netresearch/german-technical-writing-skill/german-technical-writing@sha256:4c5aa0b599d75c56

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.2, 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.
