Use when the user wants prose made shorter, tighter, or denser without losing meaning: "make this concise", "tighten this", "cut the fluff", "too wordy", "trim this down", "say it in fewer words". Strips throat-clearing, dutiful summaries, hedging, puffery and redundancy, keeping only what does work. Also removes em dashes and AI tells in passing. Not for expanding, explaining, or re-toning text where length is not the point.
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
# mimesis-concise Cut prose down to what does work. Where `mimesis-human` removes the machine *fingerprint*, this removes the *bulk*: throat-clearing, dutiful summaries, hedging, puffery and redundancy. The same instinct that keeps code tight, applied to copy. Say the claim once and stop. ## Shared machinery This command rests on the same three-layer stack as `mimesis-human`. - **L1.** Read [reference/craft.md](../../reference/craft.md) (Principle 5, Restraint, is the spine here) and [reference/tells.md](../../reference/tells.md) on every run. - **L2.** Run the linter on the input and on your output: ``` python3 "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/linter" --json path/to/draft.md ``` (Outside Claude Code, the linter is at `<this-skill-dir>/../../linter`.) Tightening is not an excuse to leave an em dash or a kill-list word behind. A concise pass still ends on a clean linter result. - **L3.** Optional generator, same gate as `mimesis-human`. See [codex.md](../../codex.md). Rarely relevant here, since concise works on text that already exists. ## What concise cuts In rough priority order: - **Throat-clearing.** The first sentence that warms up instead of starting. …

How to install
mdr add blakecyze/skills/mimesis-concise@sha256:991af56bde21c316The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.43328ef, 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.
