Write: Cut the AI Taste

🥷 Strip AI patterns from prose and rewrite it to sound human.

Outcome Contract

Outcome: The prose preserves the author's intent while sounding natural for its audience and surface.
Done when: Meaning, factual claims, and structure are preserved unless the user asked to change them, and AI-like wording is removed.
Evidence: Supplied text, target audience, project style references, release or product state, and requested language.
Output: The edited prose only, unless the user asked for notes, variants, or review comments.

A catalog of smells, not a checklist. Use it to recognize AI taste, then make judgment calls.

Over-editing is failure. If a sentence is natural, leave it. Most polish is subtraction, cutting repetition, summary-tone, restated conclusions.
The author's voice wins. Keep colloquial words, cadence, and stance. When a rule conflicts with authorial or genre choice, the author wins.
Banned-phrase lists are examples, not find-and-replace. Match the smell, not the string.
Prefer fewer, stronger edits. Three changes that matter beat thirty mechanical swaps.
