Draft text a person will send or post under their own name, in plain language that does not read as machine-written. Use when drafting or editing a chat message, an email, a pull request description, a comment, a wiki page, an announcement or a post on the user's behalf, or when the user says a draft "sounds like AI", is too long, or is too stiff. For a ticket, use `ticket-write` to write one and `ticket-trim` to shorten one.
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
# Plain writing The draft goes out under the user's name, so it should sound like them on a good day: direct, warm and short. If the user's `CLAUDE.md` or memory describes their voice, follow that first.

Short over long. - Straight apostrophes and quotes (`'` and `"`). - Match the channel: a few lines for chat, longer but still plain for a page or a pull request. - Keep the spelling convention of the user and the place it is posted. - Light humor fits informal team messages. Leave it out everywhere else. ## Patterns to cut These make text read as machine-written and get in the way of the content: …

How to install
mdr add ehnruiz/claude-skills/plain-writing@sha256:f733af67bd9c87bbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.6e97839, 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.
