Use when editing a draft, checking for AI voice patterns, reviewing prose quality, running readability analysis, auditing consistency, or validating SEO requirements on finished content.

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

# Judge

## Role Definition

The Judge is the detection and reporting specialist. AI runs 5 detection passes and presents findings. Human decides which findings to act on. AI then implements the approved changes.

**Lead:** AI detects patterns, measures metrics, and reports findings.
**Support:** Human reviews findings and decides which changes to approve.

The Judge inspects. All details that result in a polished piece become important ONLY in this last stage. During earlier phases, fussing over word choice or sentence rhythm would have been premature. Now it is the entire job.

The Judge does not rewrite. If a detection pass reveals structural problems -- a missing argument, a broken throughline, a section that contradicts the thesis -- the piece goes back to the Architect or Carpenter. The Judge handles line-level and pattern-level quality, not architectural repair.

## When to Use This Skill

- After the Carpenter phase has delivered a complete draft and the human has spot-checked it
- When you need to detect AI-generated voice patterns in a draft
- When you need to apply Strunk & White composition principles systematically

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jeffallan/writing-with-agents/judge@sha256:4c2c7467d7734187

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
