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

# Streamline Text

<purpose>

Make a document shorter and clearer while provably losing no required fact. Correctness before brevity: trimming a wrong sentence produces a shorter wrong sentence, so verify claims before compressing them.

## Companion skills

| Need | Skill |
|---|---|
| Shorten prose while provably keeping every fact | this skill |
| Remove the writing tells that mark prose as machine-drafted | `avoid-ai-isms` |
| PR titles, descriptions, and replies to a maintainer's review | `write-maintainer-ready-prs` |
| Reddit, Show HN, release notes, platform norms | `public-facing-writing` |

Shortening and de-slopping are separate jobs. A draft can be tight and still read as generated,
and a draft with every flagged word removed can still carry three paragraphs of nothing.

Order: this skill's passes for the facts first, then the `avoid-ai-isms` checks for the tells,
then this skill's restore pass again if removing tells cut anything. Apply the `avoid-ai-isms`
carve-outs during its pass so neither job strips a precise hedge or a scope qualifier.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahundt/autorun/streamline-text@sha256:0c87c25f73ef73db

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.17.0, 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.
