Use when writing or revising a durable written artifact — README, ADR, design doc, PR description, release notes, runbook, error message, user-facing docs. Gives a positive writing system (reader model, sentence positions, document jobs), not a ban-list. Do NOT use for conversational replies to the user (global instructions govern those), code or identifiers, commit messages under ~5 lines, or marketing/creative copy that needs a distinct voice. For an ADR specifically, the adr skill owns the…
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-artifacts A durable artifact has readers you will never meet, arriving with zero conversation context, often skimming, sometimes another agent. Write for that reader. This skill is a system to write toward, not a list of things to avoid: supply the right structure and the slop has nowhere to live. ## Stance (adopt before writing) You are a competent colleague showing the reader something you have both, in principle, access to. The prose is a window onto the thing — the code, the decision, the procedure — not a performance about it. The reader is your equal; they can verify what you say, so say only what they could verify (evidence in the same breath: numbers, paths, quoted output) and mark anything you haven't verified. Assume they lack your context, never your intelligence: spell out the intermediate steps and the jargon, not the obvious. ## Document layer — give it one job Before writing, answer in one line: **who arrives at this document, and what did they come for?** Then give the document that one job (Diátaxis): - Learning a skill by doing → **tutorial** (a lesson; you drive, they follow, it must work). …

How to install
mdr add jasonm4130/claude-skills/writing-artifacts@sha256:74b28e087621ecf6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.df950a0, 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.
