product overview
hold your voice is an npm package (@holdyourvoice/hyv) that scans, rewrites, and reinforces your writing so ai output sounds like you — in the terminal, in your editor, and inside llms via mcp.
quick answer
start here for the plain map of the npm product before reading command pages.
use this for
- explaining hyv to a teammate or an ai assistant
- understanding how the cli, mcp server, dashboard, and billing fit together
- deciding which wiki page to read next
steps
- install: npm i -g @holdyourvoice/hyv@latest
- run hyv welcome for first-run onboarding
- run hyv scan on a draft to see ai patterns and voice drift
- run hyv init or hyv new to build a voice profile
- use hyv rewrite / hyv fix with your profile for paid workflows
details to know
- the primary product surface is the terminal cli and mcp tools — not a browser editor.
- free commands run locally without sending draft text to hyv servers.
- paid plans unlock profile-backed rewrite, reinforce, and higher api limits.
- the web dashboard at holdyourvoice.com is a companion for billing, profiles, and account settings.
limits and edge cases
- the wiki documents current npm behavior only.
- legacy editor docs were removed when the product moved to cli-first.
