For chat replies, status updates, review comments, and commit messages, write plainly without AI tells. Also use to revise generated-sounding drafts or review another agent's prose.
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
# Plainspoken Read the [Codex desktop binding](../../../CODEX.md) when this workflow needs harness mechanics, model routing, or recovery. Every message you send is prose someone reads. This skill governs how that prose sounds, everywhere: chat replies, status updates, close-outs, review comments, commit messages. It fires on its own. Nobody has to ask you to write like a person. The full merged tell catalog lives in [references/tell-catalog.md](references/tell-catalog.md). The rules below are the short form you hold on every message; open the catalog when a draft runs longer than a few paragraphs, when a passage reads generated, when someone flags your voice, or when you are reviewing prose another agent wrote. ## The short form - Plain words. "Use", not "leverage". "Because", not "due to the fact that". "Is", not "serves as". - Say what it does, not how it feels. Name the mechanism, the number, or the action. A sentence that only names a feeling gets restated as a fact or cut. - No em dashes. End the sentence or use a comma. Parentheses as a substitute trade one tell for another. - Respond directly. No "Great question", no "I hope this helps", no victory laps. …

How to install
mdr add timharris707/skills/plainspoken@sha256:ec694d4c452e2b95The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.a9317e0, 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.
