SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated text carries recognizable tells like em dash overuse, rule-of-three lists, promotional language, and chatbot artifacts that make writing sound robotic. This Skill scans prose for 33 documented patterns from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide and rewrites it to read naturally while preserving every fact from the source. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pattern Detection and Rewrite: Identifies and fixes 33 AI-writing patterns across content, language, style, and communication categories, with a no-fabrication rule that never invents facts, names, or citations. - Voice Calibration: Analyzes a sample of your own writing to match your sentence rhythm, vocabulary, and quirks instead of producing generic clean output. - Three Invocation Modes: Handles pasted text with a full draft-audit-final loop, rewrites files in place while leaving code blocks untouched, or runs silently as an embedded step in a larger task. - Use Case: Paste an AI-drafted blog post and receive a rewrite that cuts the hype, varies sentence length, and keeps your original claims intact. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to humanize your pasted text or a specific file, for example: humanize the prose in docs/launch-post.md.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated text sound more human?

Paste the text and invoke the humanizer skill, which scans for 33 AI-writing patterns like em dash overuse, rule of three, and promotional language, then rewrites the prose. It runs a draft, an audit pass, and a final rewrite before delivering the result.

What AI writing patterns does the humanizer detect?

It detects 33 patterns across content, language, style, and communication categories, including significance inflation, vague attributions, AI vocabulary words, copula avoidance, boldface overuse, chatbot artifacts, and filler phrases. The patterns come from Wikipedia's Signs of AI writing guide.

Can the humanizer match my personal writing style?

Yes, provide two to three paragraphs of your own writing as a voice sample before the text to rewrite. The skill analyzes your sentence rhythm, word choices, and quirks, then applies them to the rewrite, and your sample can even override rules like the em dash ban.

Does humanizing text change the facts or add new information?

No, the skill enforces a no-fabrication rule: the rewrite never adds facts, names, dates, quotes, or citations that are not in the source text. If a sentence needs real-world detail, it asks you for it or writes the plain version instead.

Can I humanize a file instead of pasting text?

Yes, point the skill at a file and it rewrites the prose in place, leaving code blocks, frontmatter, data, and link targets untouched. It reports a short summary of changes rather than pasting the full rewrite back.

When should I not use the humanizer skill?

Avoid over-editing clean human writing: perfect grammar, formal vocabulary, or a single em dash alone are not reliable AI tells. The skill itself warns against gutting legitimate prose and looks for clusters of tells rather than isolated ones.
