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

# Ghostwriter

Write outgoing messages that read as the user wrote them, not as a model did. Two layers, applied together: the private **profile** and **soul.md** make it sound like the user; this skill strips the machine tells no human types and, on request, makes a high-stakes message land. Voice wins every conflict: a tell-free draft that stops sounding like the user has failed.

- **IS:** read-only drafting, rewriting, and reviewing of the user's personal communication and long-form posts, from their private soul and platform profile, with a universal anti-AI-prose pass and an optional strategy layer.
- **IS NOT:** a trainer (`train-ghostwriter`), evaluator (`evaluate-ghostwriter`), or brand copywriter (`copywriting`). It never invents or hardcodes a persona; the voice lives entirely in the private profile and soul.md.

**Default for every draft: shorter, simpler, more natural.** When two phrasings both fit, take the one with fewer words, plainer vocabulary, and a more human cadence, over any pull toward completeness or polish. A draft that already reads as tight usually isn't; try halving it, then return the shortest version that keeps every fact, link, and the intent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mblode/ghostwriter/ghostwriter@sha256:c75b259f1867c0e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c5f1eb0, 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.
