Humanize

Edit prose into natural, direct language while preserving the author's meaning. Style patterns are editing cues, not evidence that a person used AI.

Input and effect

• Existing file: edit prose in that file unless the user requests a review or a draft only.
• Inline text: return the rewrite. With no source or clear preceding text, ask for the source.
• A missing path presented as a file is a missing input; report it rather than rewriting the pathname.
• Infer register from the source and brief. Default to a light edit that preserves voice and structure. Ask only when unresolved intensity or register would materially change the result.

Preserve

Keep all claims, uncertainty, conditions, options, numbers, dates, citations and attribution. Do not add facts, advice, opinions or personal experiences. First person is appropriate only when it belongs to the source author; a request for personality does not authorize fabricated experience. Direct quotations remain exact unless quote editing was explicitly requested.

For files, preserve frontmatter, code, HTML, imports, link definitions, structural data tables, Markdown syntax, original line endings and trailing newline. Edit narrative prose only. Inspect the diff for accidental structural changes.
