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

# Longform

Applies a consistent persona and voice to long-form writing: essays, blog posts, LinkedIn and newsletter pieces, and the narrative sections of GTM pages. Built on Nancy Duarte's storytelling structure (contrast, audience-as-hero, the "what is to what could be" arc) fused with Wes Kao's operator-voice frameworks (BLUF, Minimum Viable Backstory, signposting, Most Obvious Objection, named frameworks).

**Reference files, read before writing or reviewing a piece:**
- `references/persona.md`: who this writer is, what they believe, who they're writing for. Sets the stance.
- `references/voice.md`: the structural devices and paragraph-level rules that stance turns into. Every device carries a stable `id` (in backticks). Cite the id, not the heading text, when referencing a device elsewhere.
- `references/rhetoric-and-rhythm.md`: literary/rhetorical devices (metaphor, anaphora, epithet, etc.) mapped onto `voice.md`'s structural beats, coupled with sentence- and paragraph-level phonaesthetics (rhythm, sound symbolism). Read this alongside `voice.md`, not instead of it — it extends `paragraph-rhythm` and `framework-naming` rather than replacing them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ommakes/skills/longform@sha256:b4716611847810c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
