Strip AI tells from prose and put a human voice back without changing what it says, in British or American English, pitched at the reader it is for. Use when a draft sounds machine-written or needs humanising, when asked whether text reads as AI-written, when a message might talk down to its reader or give away more than it should, when converting prose between UK and US English, when several messages go to different readers at once, before a first-contact email goes out, and when saving verve…
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
# Verve A model writes the sentence that suits the widest range of readers. A person writes for one reader, from one position, about one thing. Verve finds the places where the default choice shows, makes the choice a person would have made, and leaves what the text says exactly as it was. That is three jobs. Cut the tells, because they are the default showing. Put a voice back, because text with the tells stripped and nobody behind it still reads as machine-made, just blandly. And pitch it at its reader, because a sentence that is right for a newcomer is rude to an expert, and only the reader settles which. British English by default; American on request, or when the source already is. ## Usage Text comes from the message, a file, or the clipboard. Options are plain language. | Option | Values | Default | |---|---|---| | Tone | neutral, casual, professional, academic | neutral | | Strength | light, moderate, heavy | moderate | | Variety | British, American | match the source, else British | | Audience | who it is for, in plain words | infer from the text, else assume competence | | Overshare | flag, cut, off | flag | | Explain | "explain what you changed" | off | …

How to install
mdr add dbhq-uk/verve-skill/verve@sha256:7016872f00aa41dbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.cfd08c5, 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.
