Shape or edit substantial technical documents and human-facing project artifacts, including RFCs, design notes, investigation reports, decision records, briefs, results, reviews, and pull-request descriptions. Use collaborative composition when the author is still making material choices, and quiet editorial production when accepted facts are sufficient. Also use when explicitly invoked for ambiguous document work. Do not use for routine Pinboard coordination, minor copy edits, or generic…
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
# Technical writing Help the author produce writing that a reader can understand, evaluate, and act on. Editorial polish must not change what the evidence supports. This skill owns document-specific composition and editing.

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.
