SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Drafts written or assisted by AI often read as generic, padded, and impersonal. This Skill edits drafts to remove recognizable AI writing patterns—banned buzzwords, throat-clearing openers, fake-profound endings—while keeping the writer's distinctive voice, or audits a draft for those patterns without rewriting it. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Voice-preserving editing: Makes the minimum effective edit, keeping the writer's vocabulary, cadence, humor, and edge while cutting slop. - Detect mode: Audits a draft and names each AI pattern found with a quoted line and a short fix, without rewriting or guessing authorship. - Pattern rulebook: Covers banned words, empty adverbs, binary contrasts, colon reveals, weasel attribution, summary-recap endings, formatting slop, and em-dash overuse. - Use Case: Paste a blog post draft that sounds AI-generated and receive a sharper edited version plus a What changed section explaining every edit. ## Quick Start Paste your draft and ask the assistant to edit it to remove AI slop while keeping your voice, or ask it to audit the draft for AI patterns without rewriting.

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

Paste the draft and request an edit. The Skill cuts banned buzzwords, throat-clearing openers, and fake-profound endings while preserving your vocabulary, cadence, and opinions, then returns the edited draft with a What changed section.

How to detect AI writing patterns in a draft without rewriting it?

Ask for an audit or detect pass. The Skill names each pattern found, quotes the offending line, and gives a short fix, without rewriting the draft, scoring it, or guessing whether AI wrote it.

What words and phrases signal AI-generated text?

Common signals include delve, leverage, utilize, robust, tapestry, and transformative, plus phrases like it's worth noting and in today's world. Structural patterns include binary contrasts, colon reveals, and summary-recap endings.

Does editing for AI slop remove the writer's personal voice?

No. The Skill first identifies voice signals such as vocabulary, bluntness, humor, and digressions, then makes the minimum effective edit. Strong human sentences are left alone and distinctive lines are not rewritten for consistency.

When should I not use AI-slop editing on a draft?

Avoid it when the draft needs substantive restructuring, fact-checking, or new content rather than style cleanup. The Skill never invents claims, examples, or sources; unclear points are flagged back to you instead.
