Writing, exploit; assemble raw material into a journey of beats, grounding each term before a beat leans on it.
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
<what-to-do> The user has passed (or will pass) a markdown file of raw material. This is **exploit**: the exploring is done, the pile is fixed. Commit to a path through it and mine the pile to fill each beat. If the user did not say where to save the article, ask once and remember the path. Then run a beat-by-beat journey, choose-your-own-adventure style: 1. **Establish the prerequisites.** Before any beats, settle with the user what the audience already knows walking in: the concepts that are **grounded** from the start. Everything else must be grounded by a beat before a later beat can use it. See [Grounding](#grounding). 2. Write 2–3 candidate **starting beats**, drawn from the raw material. Each is a different entry point into the article. Each may only lean on grounded concepts; note what new concepts each one grounds. Show the user the beats before writing to the article file. The user picks one. Preview what beats that pick unlocks, as if the user is seeing a little way down the path. 3. Once the user picks a starting beat, write **only that beat** to the article file. A beat may be one sentence or several paragraphs, whatever that beat naturally is. Stop there. …

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/writing-beats@sha256:a96abafa2372eedeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.15c9348, 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.
