Strip AI writing tells from English prose. Preserves meaning, structure, code blocks, links, anchors, and frontmatter — rewrites only the flagged phrasing.

Additional context from the user: $ARGUMENTS

Scope

This skill removes AI slop. It does not inject personality — that can break technical documentation, formal specs, and any neutral-voice register. The goal is a clean, direct, human-edited register, not an opinionated blog post. If the source is an opinion piece and the user explicitly asks for voice, references/voice.md covers the optional voice-calibration pass.

Brand voice integration (optional)

When $ARGUMENTS starts with -f <voice-doc>, load a BRAND-VOICE.md (typically produced by /brand-voice) and apply its brand-specific rules in addition to the universal 32 patterns.

Workflow:

1. Strip -f <voice-doc> from the head of $ARGUMENTS. The remainder follows the Input modes table below as usual.
2. Verify <voice-doc> exists with Glob. Missing or unreadable → degrade to default behavior with an explicit warning ("<path> not found — applying universal patterns only"). Never crash.
3. Resolve the rules by running extract_rules.py --full on the voice doc. The script flattens YAML into plain text, automatically resolves any voice.extends chain, applies _replace and _remove overrides, and emits the merged rule block. Resolution order for the script path:
