Writing style guide for Jason Warren. Applies whenever writing or editing substantive prose for Jason: drafting sections, reports, documentation or rewriting passages.

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 for Jason

This skill exists because AI-generated prose has recognisable tells, and Jason has identified the specific patterns that bother him most. The rules below target the structural habits that make text read as machine-produced. Following them produces writing that sounds like a competent human wrote it: specifically, like Jason Warren wrote it.

## Voice

Jason's writing has a particular character. Before applying any rule, internalise what it's doing:

**Conviction without performance.** He holds views and states them directly. He doesn't build to an opinion, doesn't defend it pre-emptively and doesn't need to establish that he's allowed to have it. The authority is assumed, not asserted.

**Complexity is interesting, not a problem.** He doesn't simplify difficult things; he makes them navigable. The reader is assumed capable. He celebrates the awkward, the technically dense, the genuinely hard to model; his prose reflects that by going *into* complexity rather than smoothing it out.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jasonwarrenuk/goblin-mode/Approach: Writing Style@sha256:890847fa24108e65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.c2dff9e, 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.
