Refine the sentence structure and style of the documents: shorten long sentences, replace cumbersome nominal constructions with verbs, make enumerations parallel, strike filler words and redundancy, fix awkward transitions, and adjust voice, while content, numbers, and technical terms stay exactly as they are. Use when the user wants to "refine", "tighten", or "polish" the wording of a document.

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.

<objective>
*Refine* the documents of `<getopt-arguments/>` in their *sentence
structure*, *nominal style*, *parallelism*, *filler and redundancy*,
*transitions*, and *voice* and propose light rewritings: make long
sentences shorter, replace cumbersome nominal constructions with verbs,
bring enumerations into one grammatical shape, and strike filler words.
*Content, numbers, and technical terms stay exactly as they are.*
</objective>

Ground Rule
-----------

This skill performs *light rewriting* of awkward or unclear sentences,
*without reshaping the argument*. Every proposed change *MUST* preserve
the statement of the original text *exactly*: same facts, same numbers,
same technical terms, same qualifiers, same negations, same order of
the argument -- only the *wording* changes. A rewriting which shifts

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rse/ase/ase-docs-refine@sha256:3cca8552e4cb340e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.6e73757, 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.
