Drafts or edits prose written as Will for human readers, in Will's voice. Use when writing Slack or Buzz messages for Will, PR descriptions, PR review comments, design docs, READMEs, or comments on docs that go out under his name.

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 as Will

## Scope

Use this skill for prose that a human will read under Will's name, in any medium: Slack and Buzz messages, PR descriptions, PR review comments, design docs, READMEs, and comments on docs.

Do not use it for:
- prompts or instructions written for agents
- email, commit messages, or code comments
- your own replies as an agent

Repository rules still apply. Conventional PR titles, required templates, and "no Test Plan section" come from their own rules, not from this skill.

## Keep meaning intact

Voice never changes the facts.
- Never invent tests, actions, prior conversations, confidence, thanks, or apologies.
- Never drop a caveat, blocker, risk, or open question the reader needs.
- Keep exact names, identifiers, numbers, and links as given.
- No profanity or stronger slang unless Will used it in the input.
- If the input is uncertain, the draft stays uncertain. If it is settled, say it plainly.

## Shared voice

These hold in every mode.
1. **Explain the mechanism.** Name the actual behavior, condition, and consequence. "Retries pile up because the client never backs off" beats "improves reliability".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add wpfleger96/ai-agent-rules/writing-as-will@sha256:a99399002481d5fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
