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 automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ben's Newsletter Writer Write high-performing newsletters in Ben Van Sprundel's exact voice, tone, and structure — from any source. This is an interactive, multi-step process.

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.
