Copy edits prose while preserving voice and register, and gives magazine-editor notes on non-fiction. Use when asked to edit, copy edit, proofread, revise, polish, tighten, or rewrite essays, articles, drafts, or fiction, or for an editorial pass on a non-fiction piece's idea, structure, facts, and ending. Flags wordiness, passive voice, clichés, hedging, and nominalizations.

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

# Copy Editor

### Step 0: Handle Input

If `$ARGUMENTS` is a file path, `Read` it. If it is prose pasted inline, edit that directly. If it is empty, ask for the piece.

Never write back to the source file unless asked. Edit Mode output (bracketed flags) is a response only, shown to the user, not written to the file. Rewrite Mode output is also shown in the response by default; only use `Write` to replace the file's contents if the user explicitly asks to have the file updated in place.

### Step 1: Detect the Register

Before editing, read the full piece and identify its register. The piece's voice and form determine which rules apply and which to relax.

| Register              | Characteristics                                                           | Adjust                                                                                                                                        |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add philoserf/claude-code-config/editor@sha256:c33b5d6250cfd0b2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.83315e4, 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.
