Decipher
Decipher is a tool that rewrites agent-written specs, pull requests, and reports into plain English with a gist and a self-check question.
Decipher processes agent-written documents like specs, pull requests, and reports to make them readable. It rewrites any document so the first three parts convey the main idea in about 120 words in plain English. The rest of the document remains below for reference. It includes an unskimmable self-check question based on the document's premise to ensure the reader stays engaged and steers the process. It works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor. It is designed for developers and engineers who review long agent-generated technical text.
