Plan, outline and write a long-form X or LinkedIn article in the author's voice from their notes and real examples, then cut anything that reads as AI-written and produce a short post version. Use for deep-dive articles, essays and launch write-ups.

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

# Long-form Article Writer

Write long-form articles with real depth and the author's own proof.

Execution mode: agent-native. No API key needed. Uses `voice-profile.md` if Voice Match has created one.

Example request: "Write an X article on why our first 100 customers came from one Slack community. Here are my notes and the numbers."

## Inputs

- Topic, the one argument the article makes, and the reader.
- Notes, numbers, screenshots described in text, and examples. Mark which numbers are public.
- Target length (default 1,200 to 1,800 words) and platform.

## Method

1. **Argument first.** Write the thesis in one sentence and the three to five claims that support it, each with the evidence from the notes. If a claim has no evidence, ask for it or drop it.
2. **Outline.** A headline, a two-sentence opening that states the stakes, sections in an order that builds, and the ending (what the reader should do or believe). Get approval before writing.
3. **Draft** in the author's voice. Use their numbers and examples verbatim where possible. Each section opens with its point, then shows the proof.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ekos-labs/skills/long-form-article-writer@sha256:dc8d58c67f1eae61

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
