Cut slop, jargon, process narration, past states, session leakage, and provenance from a deliverable (PR or MR body, code comment, doc, skill, review comment, issue, plan) so it states the result rather than how the work happened. Use when asked to de-slop, de-jargon, trim, shorten, or cut down one of those, or when told that one reads as slop or runs too long.
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
# No Diary ## Arguments `$ARGUMENTS` is freeform. Resolve it to concrete text: - A path, optionally with a line range, reads that file. - A PR or MR number or URL reads the body with the commands in `references/surfaces.md`. - A section name or heading locates it in the artifact under discussion. - A description with no target names the problem in the deliverable in play. - A fraction or a keep-list (`50%`, `keep: the warning and the upstream link`) sets the target length. Cut to it, taking the `Removals` in order, and say what went beyond the diary. With no arguments, resolve the target in this order: text the user pasted this turn, the file this session last wrote or edited, then the PR for the current branch. Ask only when two candidates are equally live. ## Output - **A file.** Edit it in place. - **A PR or MR body.** Write the new body under `tmp/`, then apply it with the command in `references/surfaces.md`. Confirm first when the user did not name the PR. - **Pasted text.** Return the rewrite in your reply and leave the disk untouched. Then report what you cut, grouped by the `Removals` headings, in a few lines. ## The Test …

How to install
mdr add bendrucker/claude/writing:no-diary@sha256:88d070a2a330d158The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.03f7155, 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.
