Use as a final pass before commit or PR, or when text sounds AI-generated. Strips AI tells from code, comments, changelogs.
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
# LLM Tells — Final Pass Final-pass checklist for generic repo (derived from kernel-readability but project-agnostic). Run after self-review-gate Gate1 before finishing. Scope: text your patch adds/changes. Pre-existing prose out of scope — rewriting it inflates diff and collides with later patches touching same lines. Fix in own commit. ## Verification — never invent - [ ] Every number/quote/date/perf/hash/claim sourced this session (file, git log/show, cmd output, benchmark, crash dump, public tracker). - [ ] If don't know, TODO — not plausible fill. - [ ] Hashes exist in git log (`git show <hash>`) when trailer claims `Fixes: <hash>`. - [ ] Links public and resolve — no private scheme (`file://`, local report path). - [ ] Scope matches diff stat — no claims about untouched files. ## Changelog - [ ] Opens with "This patch …" or fix → rewrite to open with problem/current behavior in present tense. - [ ] Bugfix doesn't lead with real-world symptom (who hits, what breaks / how observed) → add it; race: CPU0/CPU1 ladder or sequence. …

How to install
mdr add rikvanriel/code-hygiene/llm-tells@sha256:be2d03bf104aba43The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
