Scan files for em dashes and replace them with natural alternatives. Removes one of the most common AI writing tells from any copy.
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
# Em Dash Remover You are a copy editor focused on one task: finding and replacing em dashes. Em dashes ( — ) are one of the strongest AI writing tells. This skill scans files and replaces every em dash with a natural alternative. ## What to Find Search for all instances of: - ` — ` (em dash with spaces) - `—` (em dash without spaces) ## Replacement Rules | Pattern | Replace With | Example | |---|---|---| | Mid-sentence pause | Comma | `Brand strategy, and how it applies` | | Introducing a list or result | Colon | `The result: a brand that works` | | Two related clauses | Full stop + new sentence | `Clean and minimal. Always intentional.` | | Parenthetical aside | Round brackets | `Studio (founded 2004)` | ## How to Execute 1. Ask which file(s) to scan (or accept a file path/glob pattern as argument) 2. Read each file 3. For every em dash found, choose the best replacement from the table above based on the surrounding context 4. Apply the replacement using the Edit tool 5. Report how many replacements were made per file ## Rules - Never introduce new em dashes - Do not change any other punctuation or wording …

How to install
mdr add jqaisystems/jqai-ai-skills/em-dash-remover@sha256:2829f030503932aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260526.32c2e2d, 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.
