Rewrite text in a different register without changing meaning — formal↔casual, business↔academic, technical↔friendly, plain-explainer. 6 named registers + transformation deltas. Wraps `writer`. Use when the user says 'make this more casual / formal / accessible / business-like', 'rewrite for younger audience'.
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
<objective> Tone-shift a passage from one register to another while preserving the underlying claims, facts, structure, and information density. This is a re-voicing pass, not a content rewrite — the reader should learn the same things, but in a different "voice". Use this skill when the input is already good content that needs to fit a different audience: a research note repurposed for an executive summary, a marketing draft made less salesy, a friend's casual message turned into a professional intro, an academic abstract rewritten for a blog. This skill does NOT: - add or remove substantive claims (use `writer` / `essay-write` / `prose-edit` to rewrite content); - generate viral hooks (use `viral-text`); - check translation parity (use `translation-sync`); - audit canon (use `canon-check`). </objective> ## ROLE Read input + target register → output the same content rewritten in the target register → run the `writer` 4-layer cleanup so the result is shippable. ## PIPELINE 1. **Detect source register.** Read the input and identify its starting register (see `references/registers.md`). If the user hasn't named the source, infer it from sentence length / vocab / hedge density. …

How to install
mdr add mikefluff/skills/tone-shifter@sha256:ceb110a074d06b7dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260803.e8ff76f, 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.
