Draft and revise reader-centered marketing writing using Ann Handley's public method. Use for emails, articles, landing pages, brand stories, and microcopy that need a clear purpose, useful evidence, and a distinctive voice.

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

# Everybody Writes in Practice

Based on Ann Handley's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Ann Handley.

## When to use

Use this skill when turning a brief, notes, or an existing draft into marketing writing that helps a particular reader understand something or make a decision. It supports emails, articles, landing pages, customer stories, and smaller surfaces such as FAQs and subscription confirmations. Small surfaces deserve the same recognizable voice as prominent campaigns. [S1] [S4]

The deliverable is the requested copy, with a title or subject line when appropriate, a useful next action, and concise review notes for unresolved evidence or permissions. Preserve the user's format, length, audience, and voice constraints. Do not turn every assignment into an article or personal story. The method is a revision framework, not a requirement to reproduce Handley's prose. [S2] [S6]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add getedgehq/skills/handley-everybody-writes@sha256:d7ec88cf619a94e2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, 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.
