declaude

Claude-English → plain English, as a service.
Strips sycophantic openers, hollow superlatives and hedging filler.
Meaning, code and structure survive intact.

Before  "Great question! Before I answer, let me make sure I understand what        you're asking. You want to know why the build is failing. Let me walk        through my thinking, and then I'll give you the answer."

Runs on an open-source model (Qwen2.5-14B-AWQ) on our own L4 GPUs, so your text never reaches a commercial AI provider. Prompt logging is disabled at the model server: text is processed in memory and discarded, never written to disk, a database, or logs.

Quick start

In Claude Code, install the plugin. It brings the skill and registers the hook:

/plugin marketplace add tenkenco/declaude/plugin install declaude@tenken

Then run /declaude:setup. It safely migrates any manual hook and configures a dk_ key. Claude Code stores the key in secure plugin configuration. The hook rewrites replies as soon as a key exists. Set the hook_enabled option to false to stop it. The hook stays silent without a key, and it never blocks a session.

For the MCP server on its own, in Claude Code or any other MCP client:

claude mcp add --transport http declaude https://speak-english.tenken.co/mcp

No API key to paste: your client discovers OAuth, opens a browser sign-in, and holds the token. That is the whole setup.

Full usage, authentication and quota behaviour live in skills/declaude/SKILL.md — installable as an agent skill, so your agent can read it directly.

Architecture

client ── API key / OAuth / Clerk JWT ──> Cloud Run gateway ── VPC ──> internal LB ──> vLLM GPU MIG                                              │                                    (Qwen2.5-14B, spot L4)                                              ├─> Firestore (usage, paid flags, key hashes)                                              └─> Stripe (payment link + signed webhooks)

• gateway/ — FastAPI. Every boundary is injectable, which is why the suite runs without network, GPU or cloud credentials.
• infra/ — Terraform, state in GCS, plan converges to zero diff. The GPU tier is private-IP spot instances behind an internal L7 load balancer.
• hook/ — Claude Code hook client. Fails open; never blocks a session.
• hooks/ — hooks.json, the plugin registration Claude Code reads on install.
• CI — lint, tests and coverage on every PR; security scans and a production smoke test daily.
