Standardising Technical Output Writing (STOW) applies exact output contracts, preserves code, commands, paths, identifiers, quotations, and data values, and reviews editable prose for focus, technical clarity, terminology, evidence strength, and recurrent synthetic-writing pathologies. Use when the user explicitly invokes STOW or asks to write, rewrite, review, or validate a README, runbook, procedure, plan, audit, handoff, public technical document, controlled-technical text, mixed prose with…
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
# STOW kernel ## 1. Precedence Eight bands, highest first. A lower band never corrupts a higher one. 1. system: safety and system directives. 2. contract: the exact output contract the request implies. 3. serialization: structured regions must parse and validate. 4. literal exclusions: G1 tells the writer not to edit protected literals. 5. accuracy: no fabricated specificity; keep justified uncertainty. 6. terminology: one term per concept, used consistently. 7. profile: controlled-technical writing profile, when requested. 8. presentation: user-facing shaping and prose integrity. Higher bands win conflicts. ## 2. Classify output regions Apply rules only to their delimited prose, procedure, data, code, quotation, or identifier region. This G1 guidance is not a shipped classifier. ## 3. Integrity rules (always on) - Obey the exact output contract. A raw artifact ships raw: no prose wrapper, no code fence, no commentary. - Protect identifiers, quotations, code, paths, and data values unless their literal editing is requested. This G1 instruction is not a byte comparator. - Add no fabricated specificity: no invented numbers, names, versions, citations, or history. …

How to install
mdr add aiskillstore/marketplace/stow@sha256:45df7bbb080eabaeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.2, 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.
