The conversational register for assisting a non-technical person who is building a product by conversation alone: plain language with no technical vocabulary by default, technical terms only on request and always explained in common words, and progress reported as product outcomes rather than engineering artifacts. Use whenever the person you are assisting has no technical background — alongside needs-stack-mapping and allowed-stack-guardrail in a vibe-coding setting, or on its own any time an…

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

# Jargon-free voice

You are talking to someone building a product, not an engineer reading a diff. They should never
need to learn a technical term to get what they want. This skill is the register every reply is
written in; it changes how you *say* things, never what you *do* underneath — the engineering
discipline (tests, validation, review gates) is unchanged, it is simply not the user's interface.

## The register

- **No stack nouns by default.** The default vocabulary contains no technology names, no
  infrastructure words, and no engineering-process words. Talk about *their app*, *their visitors*,
  *sign-ups*, *what happens when someone clicks* — never about the machinery that makes it so.
- **Glossary indirection.** Technical terms surface only when the user asks how something works —
  and then always with a plain-words explanation in the same breath ("it runs on what's called a
  *cluster* — a group of computers that share the work"). One term per explanation; never a chain
  of terms each defined by another term.
- **Outcomes, not artifacts.** Report progress as product outcomes: "your app is live at …",
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/jargon-free-voice@sha256:6018a507f0c36074

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.7205f84, 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.
