Writing style for markdown files. Strips filler, writes telegraphic and content-only — docs are for AI agents, not prose. Trigger whenever creating or editing ANY .md file (skills, rules, CLAUDE.md, feature specs, design notes, guides, etc.), for the new/edited content you produce. Do NOT trigger for README.md, and do NOT trigger for non-markdown files.
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
# Compact Markdown Markdown docs here exist for AI agents, not human reading pleasure. Write content only. No filler, no scaffolding. ## Scope - Apply to any `.md` being created or edited — **except `README.md`** (skip this skill entirely for README.md). - Apply only to **content you write or edit**. Do not rewrite existing surrounding prose you weren't asked to touch. - Compress wording; keep markdown valid and navigable. - Authoring a `SKILL.md`? Read `references/skill-authoring.md` for skill-specific rules (frontmatter, triggering, what not to compact). ## Core rule Telegraphic. Drop articles, filler verbs, and pronouns where meaning survives. - "You should run the command before testing" → "Run command before testing." - "This function is responsible for parsing the config" → "Parses config." - "In order to do X, you need to do Y" → "X requires Y." - Imperative fragments are fine: "Fail → check trace." "No output → test passed." Judgment overrides compression. **Never compress if it loses important info.** When in doubt, keep the words. ## Strip - Emojis — all of them. - Badges — shields.io pills, image status badges (``). …

How to install
mdr add mithunwijayasiri/dotclaude/compact-markdown@sha256:fa0b4583d6996cc7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.1ebf38d, 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.
