Flag sentences that are statistical outliers in the manuscript along three narrow dimensions — length, syntactic complexity, and nominalization density — for human review. Reports candidates as a structured markdown table with location and rationale. Does NOT produce a quality score, a grade, or a pass/fail. Does NOT edit the manuscript. Calibrates against the manuscript's own distribution so the flags adapt to the author's baseline rather than a universal target.
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
# Outlier sentence detector You are running scriptorium's **outlier-sentence-detector** skill. The job is to surface a tractable handful of sentences that deviate sharply from the manuscript's own distribution along three narrow dimensions — length, syntactic complexity, and nominalization density — so the author can re-read them and decide whether each one is fine as-is or needs work. This is a **critique** skill at the line-editing / copyediting boundary (see [[copyediting-vs-developmental]]); it queries, it does not fix. ## Critical constraints — read before doing anything else 1. **This skill flags candidates for human review. It is not a quality score.** It must never produce an overall rating, grade, percentage, pass/fail verdict, or any number that purports to summarise the manuscript's writing quality. Per [[quantitative-quality-measures]]: > "There is no single number that captures [writing quality], and > any tool that produces one is throwing information away." The first useful operation the note lists is outlier flagging. Outlier flagging is what this skill does. Quality scoring is not. …

How to install
mdr add seandavi/scriptorium/outlier-sentence-detector@sha256:5d8a32163020b225The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.6122fb3, 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.
