Reference for the concise plugin's verbosity rules, escape hatches, and config, in Claude Code and Codex. Use when a "[concise]" hook message appears, or when asked to adjust its thresholds.

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

# Concise, verbosity rules

The plugin runs 3 core checks as `PreToolUse` hooks, plus 2 optional style checks (see Optional features).

1. Comments over the line limit (default 2), any contiguous `//`, `#`, or `/* */` block. Only the text being written is scanned: the `content` of a `Write`, the `new_string` of an `Edit`, each `edits[].new_string` of a `MultiEdit`, and in Codex each run of `+` lines in an `apply_patch`. Comments already on disk are never counted against you.
2. Files over the line limit (default 300). `Write` and `*** Add File` only, since an `Edit` or `*** Update File` hunk is judged on its own text.
3. `gh pr/issue` bodies with too many prose paragraphs (default 1) or an overlong paragraph (default 3 sentences). A `## Summary` + bullets body is never flagged, only unstructured prose is.

## When a hook denies you

The deny carries a `permissionDecisionReason` naming the exact file/line or the exact paragraph problem. Fix that and retry. After 2 denied retries on the same target, the action goes through and is flagged: the user sees a `systemMessage`, and you see the same text as `additionalContext` in both hosts. A passing check resets that counter.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yannelli/be-concise/concise-rules@sha256:8b65dee3d2752a83

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.5fcb208, 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.
