Load at the start of any task whose deliverable is prose another person will read — a PR description, commit message, README, doc, postmortem, blog post, issue or review comment, report, release note or essay — before drafting it, whether the result is pushed, posted, published or saved to a file, without being asked. Draft, then run this pass on the draft before handing it over. Also use when someone says "de-claude", "de-slop", "humanize this", "this reads like AI", "make it sound human", or…
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
# Declauding Turn LLM-shaped prose into prose a human technical writer would have written. Two output modes: - **clean** (default) — the rewritten text, nothing else. - **annotated** — a single-file HTML artifact: rewritten text, every changed passage marked, each with the original, the tic name, and why it goes. A toggle hides the marks so the result can be read straight through. Three ways it gets called, which change what you deliver: - **Pasted text** (default) — the user gives text in the conversation. Return the rewrite, plus a short list of what changed if the edit was substantial. - **File** — the user points at a path. Rewrite the file in place and report a summary in the conversation rather than pasting the whole result back. Edit prose only: leave code blocks, frontmatter, data, link targets and quoted specimens alone. - **Embedded** — another skill or agent is calling this as one step of a larger job (a PR description, a commit message, a doc). Return the final text and nothing else. No preamble, no summary, no tic list. ## Do not invent specifics The rewrite must not contain a fact, name, number, date, quote or citation that …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/declauding@sha256:7e741d9179f61673The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.12.3, 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.
