Every writing request: rewriting notes, short notes or this conversation into a piece ('write up these notes', 'turn what we discussed into a note', 'draft my weekly report', 'make a WeChat version of [[X]]'); revising existing text — polish, shorten, expand, rephrase, continue, translate, title it, or just give feedback ('polish this', 'what's weak here?'); writing an article from the knowledge base; and writing rules ('never use em dashes'). '整理成一篇', '把刚才聊的写成笔记', '写个周报', '改成公众号版', '润色一下'…

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

# Hylo Writing

One entry for all writing. Pick the mode here, then read its workflow.

Tools named here are Hylo's MCP tools (server `hylo`, maybe shown as `mcp__hylo__read`). If they aren't in your tool list, search your deferred tools for "hylo"; if still missing, say Hylo's tools are unavailable and stop.

## Pick the mode

First: **is there existing text to change?** If yes, it's revise. If no, ask: do they want a finished piece in one go, or an argued article they steer as it's written?

| The user says | Mode | Because | Read |
| ------------- | ---- | ------- | ---- |
| "polish this", "shorten this paragraph", "say it another way", "continue", "what's weak here?" | **Revise** | there's text to change (quote, selection, current note) | `workflows/revise.md` |
| "write up these notes", "turn what we discussed into a note", "draft my weekly report", "make a WeChat version", "summarize my notes on X" | **Draft** | they point at the material or name a form, and want the finished piece | `workflows/draft.md` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skoowoo/hylo/hylo-writing@sha256:98c17dbf9c3f7f36

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.62f8435, 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.
