How to work in a Writing Pipeline project (the `writing-pipeline` starter pack): a three-stage drafting flow, ideas → drafts → published. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to capture an idea, start or revise a draft, review a piece before it ships, or publish it. Carries the stage flow and review behaviors so that guidance does not live inside template bodies or folder descriptions. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

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

# Writing Pipeline pack — how to work here

A lean three-stage flow for short-to-medium-form writing (essays, newsletters, blog posts).

> This skill is pack guidance. The platform `/open-knowledge` skill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the drafting flow on top.

```
ideas/      one-line premises, captured before they fade
   ↓ commit to writing it
drafts/     active prose; CRDT history covers revisions (no named-revision folders)
   ↓ ship
published/  shipped work; treat as immutable
```

## Per-folder rules + agent behaviors

- **`ideas/`** — premises, headlines, fragments. Kept short on purpose; not a draft folder. Promote into `drafts/` when you commit to the piece. *Agent: review ideas idle more than 30 days and surface them to park or promote.*
- **`drafts/`** — active prose. Frontmatter tracks `status: drafting/review`, word count, parent idea. *Agent: review drafts idle more than 14 days; for drafts in review, suggest publication targets based on `target_form`. If a piece needs research notes, create `drafts/<slug>/research/` on demand rather than a top-level folder.*

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inkeep/open-knowledge/writing-workflow@sha256:65c48c2a577521bf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.adeb8b5, 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.
