Find the tells that make a website or interface look generated, templated or low-effort - in the copy, the visual design and the code - and replace each one with something specific to the product. Scans the source with a script, reviews screenshots by eye, and returns a ranked list of fixes. Use when a site "looks like every other AI-built site", before a launch, or when reviewing generated UI or copy.

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

# /template-tells

A site looks generated when every decision in it is the default one: the purple gradient, the three icon cards, the headline that could sell any product. No single default is wrong. The tell is that nothing was chosen. This skill finds the defaults and replaces each with a decision.

## What you're looking for

A **tell** is a pattern that appears because it's the easiest output, not because it serves this product. Judge each one with a single question: **could this appear, unchanged, on a competitor's site?** If yes, it's a tell.

### In the copy

- **Vocabulary of nothing:** unlock, elevate, seamless, supercharge, empower, robust, cutting-edge, next-level, world-class.
- **Stock openers:** "In today's fast-paced world", "Whether you're a startup or an enterprise", "Look no further", "Say goodbye to…".
- **The not-just construction:** "It's not just a tool — it's a partner." State the second half on its own.
- **Tricolons everywhere:** "Fast. Simple. Powerful." Three adjectives are a sign no one picked one.
- **Unmeasured numbers:** "10x faster", "thousands of happy teams", "in seconds". Real numbers have units, dates and sources.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ham7a311/vitrine/template-tells@sha256:4d67224168209c8d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.15312e4, 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.
