Reverse-engineer texts into a reusable structural blueprint (reverse outlining, argument mining, copy teardown). Use when the user asks to analyze a text’s thesis, hook, framework (AIDA/PAS/PASTOR/BAB), argument map, rhetoric (Ethos/Pathos/Logos), or when they want to convert “text → structure/blueprint” to reuse patterns in writing, specs, prompts, or marketing.
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
# Reverse-Engineering Texts ## Goal Turn a finished text into a **TeardownBlueprint** (a “drawing”) that is reusable: structure, argument moves, and rhetorical patterning. ## Core disciplines (FPF-aligned) - **Strict distinction**: TextArtifact (the text) ≠ Blueprint (your description) ≠ Output (new draft/prompt). - **Evidence first**: Every non-trivial claim in the blueprint must include a short **quote** from the text (an “evidence anchor”). - **Parsimony**: Prefer the simplest structure/framework that explains the whole text. - **Uncertainty**: Mark low-confidence inferences explicitly. ## What “SOTA” means here This skill is not just “label AIDA and call it done”. State-of-the-art reverse-engineering requires: - **Paradigm transparency**: explicitly declare the interpretive lens used (and what would count as an “error” vs a paradigm clash). - **Meaning-in-interaction**: meaning is extracted in a dynamic local context, not “derived from rules given from above”. - **Ambiguity handling**: do not force-collapse; maintain multiple plausible interpretations when needed. - **Order effects awareness**: sometimes A→B ≠ B→A; record when the analysis is non-commutative. …

How to install
mdr add dimonier/skills/reverse-engineering-texts@sha256:2b6815d5af227fa5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260201.52d6d1b, 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.
