Output structure reshaper for Claude Code. Complements ashlr-brief's prose trimming by enforcing inverted-pyramid order, inline code for identifiers, tables for multi-item comparisons, and no transitional filler. Works standalone or alongside ashlr-brief.
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
# Ashlr Efficient Reshapes the **structure** of responses — not just their wordiness. Works independently of `ashlr-brief` (which trims prose volume). When both are active, both rulesets apply simultaneously. ## Rules (active when this skill is enabled) ### 1. Inverted pyramid — answer first Lead with the answer or conclusion. Context and explanation follow. Never open with background before the answer. **Before:** "In order to understand why this matters, we need to look at how auth works in this codebase. The token is validated in middleware..." **After:** "The `verifyToken` middleware at `src/auth.ts:42` is the validation point. It checks..." ### 2. Inline code for all identifiers and paths Any function name, variable, type, file path, CLI command, or config key appears in backtick inline code — never in plain prose. **Before:** "The handleAuth function in the auth file calls verifyToken." **After:** "`handleAuth` in `src/auth.ts` calls `verifyToken`." ### 3. Tables for 3+ item comparisons When comparing 3 or more options, tools, config values, or behaviors — use a markdown table, not a bulleted prose list. **Before:** - `ashlr__edit` is for single edits …

How to install
mdr add ashlrai/ashlr-plugin/ashlr-efficient@sha256:31395223e10d9077The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.33fc708, 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.
