Rewrite slop, or a reply that did not land, into text a person would write.

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

# Writing

Rewrite the supplied text or named passage into text a person would write. With no target, rewrite the last substantive agent response. Ask only when the target or intended meaning cannot be determined.

**Slop** is text that reads as generated: padded, generic, inflated, shaped by habits no person would choose. Each habit is a **tell**. [`references/tells.md`](references/tells.md) is the reviewer's catalog of tells, and the writer works from the positive targets below instead.

## 1. Find the reader

Name who reads the text, what they already know, and what they must do or decide after reading. Find where the original loses them: a buried point, missing context, an unexplained term, slop. For project text, use the domain terms in the repo glossary (`GLOSSARY.md`, or `CONTEXT.md` in older repos).

Done when you can state the reader's need and the original's failure in one sentence each.

## 2. Study the pairs (Czech)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jhostalek/dotclaude/writing@sha256:4df87dca4c402e19

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.21e288c, 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.
