Write copy a human reads: a landing page, a README's front half, a launch post, a profile page. Use when drafting or revising public-facing prose, when a page reads like agent documentation, or when a finished draft needs its last-mile scrub for AI tells.
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
# Writing for Humans The sibling skill [writing-for-agents](../writing-for-agents/SKILL.md) makes documents predictable enough that an agent runs the same process every time. This skill makes pages worth a stranger's next minute: the reader is free to leave at any sentence, and the page earns each one. The compression that serves an agent reads cold to a human; when the document is a SKILL.md, an AGENTS.md, or a reference an agent consumes, use the sibling instead. Work the sections in order for a full draft. Jump straight to [the scrub](references/last-mile-scrub.md) when the content already stands and only the tells remain. ## Guide structure over catalog structure A catalog lists what exists. A guide walks the reader somewhere. Human-facing pages take the guide shape, in this order: 1. **Identity and hook first.** One or two sentences before any list: what this is, for whom, and the opinion that animates it. 2. **The quickest possible start.** The smallest real action the reader can take right now, finishable in minutes. 3. **Problems framed from the reader's seat.** Each runs problem → fix → link: the pain as the reader feels it, then the fix, then where to go. …

How to install
mdr add timharris707/skills/writing-for-humans@sha256:65b583df34e0e9adThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.347bbc8, 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.
