Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment.
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
<!-- Adapted from obra/superpowers writing-skills skill (v5.0.7), MIT-licensed, copyright 2025 Jesse Vincent. Modifications copyright 2026 Joe Amditis. v0.6.0 ports as a research-category skill: a default-on Research phase is inserted between "When to Create a Skill" and "Skill Types" so skill design is grounded in real prior art and current best practice before TDD begins.

Four cross-references migrated from the upstream namespace prefix to the local one: three to test-driven-development and one to systematic-debugging. superjawn 2.0.0 removed test-driven-development, so the three TDD references became a self-contained description of the red-green cycle for skills.

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/writing-skills@sha256:c6b450996a36f55dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.21f0bb2, 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.
