SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated text carries recognizable patterns—inflated claims, filler phrases, uniform rhythm, chatbot artifacts—that make prose sound generic and machine-written. This Skill detects 40 documented AI writing tells and rewrites the text so it reads like its human writer, without dropping or inventing any facts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 40-pattern detection index: Scans text against a catalog of AI writing tells drawn from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing", covering content, language, style, chatbot residue, filler, rhetoric, and register. - Fact-preserving rewrites: Keeps every claim, number, citation, and hedge at its original strength; invents nothing and asks when a detail is missing. - Voice matching: A supplied writing sample or personal style file outranks the pattern catalog, so deliberate quirks like em-dash habits survive the rewrite. - Use Case: Paste a blog draft that reads like chatbot output; the Skill flags patterns such as "delve", forced triads, and dramatic fragments, then returns a rewrite in your voice with a list of remaining tells. ## Quick Start Paste your AI-sounding text and ask the agent to humanize it while keeping every fact and citation intact.

Frequently Asked Questions about humanize

FAQPage Schema
How do I remove AI writing patterns from my text?

Paste the text into the conversation or name a file, and the Skill scans it against 40 documented AI writing tells, then rewrites the flagged passages. Pasted text returns a draft and final rewrite; a named file is edited in place.

How to make AI-generated text sound human without losing facts?

The rewrite keeps every claim, number, date, quote, and citation at its original strength and invents nothing. Invariants forbid dropping negations, hedges, or comparatives that would change what a sentence claims.

Can I preserve my personal writing style when de-AI-ing prose?

Yes. Supply a writing sample or personal style file and it outranks the pattern catalog. Deliberate habits like frequent em dashes, personification, or candid asides are kept without asking.

Does humanizing text work on technical documentation?

Yes, but reference, technical, legal, and factual text is kept neutral rather than given personality. File mode changes prose only, preserving code blocks, YAML metadata, data, and link targets.

What are the limitations of AI writing detection?

Every flagged pattern also occurs in human writing, so a hit is a style signal, never proof of authorship. Lexical tells count only in clusters, and the calibration reference lists false positives to leave intact.
