Finds the patterns that make slide text read as machine-written (filler openers, inflated verbs, groups of three, em dashes, hedge stacks, symmetrical sentences) and proposes a plain rewrite for each, slide by slide. Changes no figure, name, date or claim, and applies nothing until the user approves. Use when the user says a deck sounds like AI, sounds generic, needs a human voice, or asks for an AI-tells, slop or tone check.
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
# AI writing tells check ## Purpose A deck drafted with AI help is usually factually fine and tonally obvious. The tells are structural, not vocabulary: openers that clear the throat, triples that pad, hedges stacked two deep, every sentence the same length. Readers notice before they can name it, and in a client or board deck the cost is credibility. This finds the tells and proposes plain replacements. It never touches a number. ## When to use - The user says a deck sounds like AI, sounds generic, sounds corporate, needs a human voice, or asks for a slop, tone or AI-tells check. - A deck was drafted with AI help and is going to a client, a board or a public audience. - Run it **last**, after the content is settled. Rewriting prose that is about to be cut wastes the user's attention. - Do not use to change meaning, shorten a deck or fix consistency. Those are `deck-trim-proposal` and `deck-consistency-sweep`. ## Inputs 1. The deck (required). If nothing is open or attached, ask for it. 2. Scope (optional): all slides, a range, titles only, or speaker notes too. Default: all slide text and titles, excluding speaker notes. …

How to install
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-office-skills/ai-writing-tells-check@sha256:077a25b9ca9b9055The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.7203ae2, 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.
