Tone enforcement patterns for external-facing community responses.
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
## Context
Use this skill whenever the communications owner drafts external-facing responses for issues or discussions.
- Tone must be warm, helpful, and human-sounding — never robotic or corporate.
- The repository's communication policy applies everywhere: **Humanized tone is mandatory**.
- This applies to **all external-facing content** drafted by the communications owner in Phase 1 issues/discussions workflows.
## Patterns
1. **Warm opening** — Start with acknowledgment ("Thanks for reporting this", "Great question!")
2. **Active voice** — "We're looking into this" not "This is being investigated"
3. **Second person** — Address the person directly ("you" not "the user")
4. **Conversational connectors** — "That said...", "Here's what we found...", "Quick note:"
5. **Specific, not vague** — "This affects the casting module in v0.8.x" not "We are aware of issues"
6. **Empathy markers** — "I can see how that would be frustrating", "Good catch!"
7. **Action-oriented closes** — "Let us know if that helps!" not "Please advise if further assistance is required"

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.9cf5842, 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.
