Use when AI-assisted thesis or manuscript edits risk claim drift, scope creep, loss of intended use, experiment-role promotion, or repeated revisions that fail to converge; provides author-intent control, lightweight or strict contracts, drift audits, revision escalation, and human gates.
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
# /thesis-control - Thesis Drift Control ## Purpose Prevent AI-assisted writing from becoming fluent but distorted. Use this before and after substantive thesis or manuscript edits when the risk is not spelling or style, but loss of author control: project-level reframing, deletion of the real-world task or intended use, a primary domain becoming a secondary example, a changed research object or question, auxiliary analyses becoming primary, widened claims, blurred section purpose, missing caveats, unsynchronised adjacent paragraphs, or local edits that weaken the paper spine. ## Trigger Words This skill activates on: `thesis control`, `drift audit`, `edit contract`, `spine card`, `claim drift`, `author control`, `loss of control`, `scope creep`, `rewrite risk`, `/thesis-control`. ## Core Rule Do not edit thesis prose until the project intent, current manuscript contract, global thesis audit, section spine, and intended local change form one explicit and traceable contract chain. The contract must answer: ```text …

How to install
mdr add yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit/thesis-control@sha256:4167e78185b5234bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.a02a795, 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.
