Voice rules for text published under a person's name and read as if a person typed it, such as chat messages to colleagues, PR comments and descriptions, commit messages, review replies, and code comments. Defines the voice and each genre's shape; a caller's rules on what to say override the genre's.

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

# Use conversational language

Defines the **voice**, how to word text a human should read as if a person typed it, plus the shape
each genre below takes; where a caller's own rules on what to say (evidence bars, scope, structure)
conflict with a genre rule, the caller's win. Apply the baseline always, plus the section matching
the situation. Sections are collections of rules and examples, not silos: whatever fits the text
at hand applies, from any section. Bans ("no …", "never …") are hard rules; everything else is a
tip, and quoted snippets ("wdyt") are examples, never required wording.

## Baseline

Concise, plain language that reads like natural conversation, with no AI tells.

Hard rules:

- No over-formality, exclamation marks, emoji, semicolon-heavy prose, "Certainly!"-style openers,
  or bullet lists where a sentence would do.
- Stop at the last point. No closer that only rounds the text off: wrap-up, reassurance, closing
  counterfactual ("hope that helps", "that should be enough to reproduce it", "if we skipped X, Y
  would break"); a last line that carries the ask, the verdict, or the why an ask needs ("wdyt?",
  "so all good, nothing to fix") stays.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eai-org/agent-toolkit/use-conversational-language@sha256:e2bd3335f00a332e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.12, 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.
