Set up, change or remove how Claude talks to you: a custom output style with your reply rules, a reminder of those rules on every message, and a Stop hook that quietly nudges Claude when a reply runs a little long and blocks one that runs far past your limit. Use when the user says Claude's replies are too long, exhausting, hard to skim, full of process narration or caveats, 'you make me work for the information', 'talk to me shorter', 'communication setup', 'set up how you talk to me'; when…
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
# Communication setup
Memory notes and CLAUDE.md rules about tone fade in long sessions. This skill enforces them with three pieces, from weakest to strongest:
1. **An output style.** It goes into the system prompt and survives compaction, so it outranks CLAUDE.md. It sets the base voice.
2. **A reminder on every message** (UserPromptSubmit hook). It puts the rules next to each message the user sends, so they stay in view.
3. **A length check** (Stop hook). A block is jarring: the user sees the long reply, a hook message and then the rewrite. So it has two tiers. A reply a little over the limit (up to `hard_factor` times it, default 2) isn't blocked: the next message carries a quiet note to keep that reply shorter, and the user sees nothing. A reply far over is blocked once with a one-line reason, and the rewrite passes so it never loops. It skips `>` quoted drafts and code blocks, and allows any length when the user's message asks for depth ("explain", "details", "full").

How to install
mdr add flagrare/agent-skills/communication-setup@sha256:d8f0e95c4bf590b6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.0a7bead, 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.
