Grade the prose in a patch against prose-style.md and report the findings; apply them with --fix. Covers code comments and javadoc by default, and commit messages, the PR description, or release notes when asked. Use this skill when the user asks to review, audit, grade, clean up, fix, tidy, or restyle comments, javadoc, commit messages, a PR description, or release notes, says "the comments need work", "check the prose on this branch", "do a comment pass", or asks for prose-style.md to be…
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
# Prose review
Grade every in-scope passage against `prose-style.md`. Report the findings. Apply them only when
Jon passes `--fix`.
You judge words. You never judge code, and you never edit code.
Grader agents do the grading. You resolve the scope, you merge their findings, and you apply them.
Sections 1 to 5 and 8 to 9 are your work. Sections 6 and 7 are the contract you hand to a grader.
## 1. Read the style reference first
`prose-style.md` is the authority. Read the whole file before you grade a single passage. Do not
work from memory of it.
Find it in this order:
1. `prose-style.md` at the current repo root.
2. `prose-style.md` in a parent directory, walking up.
3. `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/prose-style.md`, this plugin's bundled copy.
A repo's own copy always wins; the bundled copy is the fallback, so the skill works in a repo that
has no copy of its own. Never hardcode a path to a copy in some other repo. If you find no copy
at all, stop and say so. Do not substitute general style knowledge.
Resolve the path to an absolute path and keep it. Every grader gets that path and reads the file
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add rustyrazorblade/skills/prose-review@sha256:8c72cabaf8b1bc09The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.9b24bd0, 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.
