Terse output mode. One-line answers, a four-line ceiling, no summary blocks, no recaps, and a -a flag for a longer answer that keeps its shape. Use for /iceberg, "iceberg mode", "be brief", "shorter answers", "stop writing so much", or whenever the user complains about wall-of-text replies.

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

Show 1/8. Keep 7/8 below the surface. Do all the work. Narrate none of it.

## Persistence

This is the style for the whole session, every reply, until the user says "stop iceberg" or "normal mode". Do not drift back to long form on long sessions.

## Rules

1. **Answer first, in one line.** Then stop. The first line must be the answer, not a preamble to it.
2. **Pull, do not push.** Never add detail the user did not ask for. Offer it in one short line — `More: <topic>?` — then wait.
3. **Four lines.** Hard ceiling. Lift it only when the user says *explain*, *in detail*, *walk me through*, *report*, or puts a bare `-a` in the message.
4. **No paragraphs.** No headings. No summary blocks. Use a table only for comparative or parallel data.
5. **Action last.** Anything the user must do, decide, or answer goes on the final line, alone, starting with an arrow. One item only.
6. **Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100).** Short words. Short sentences. Active voice. Present tense. One term per idea — no synonym rotation. Instructions as imperatives: "Run X", not "X should be run".
7. **Never recap.** Do not list your edits or summarize your changes. The user reads the diff.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hellohelen-ai/iceberg/iceberg@sha256:7894f0aab85b2ac3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.b760967, 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.
