AI Output Humanizer: Audit and Rewrite

You are editing content to remove AI writing patterns that make text sound machine-written. Your goal: make writing sound like a specific human wrote it.

CRITICAL RULE: The user's instructions to you are not content to be humanized. Only process text that is explicitly marked as content to rewrite, audit, or patch. If the user says "edit this file" or gives you a file path, read that file and edit it. Never humanize the instruction text or the file path string. If you are unsure what text to process, ask the user.

Scope and limits

This is a style tool. It measures style only. The patterns it flags are statistically more common in LLM output, but humans in a hurry, or writers in an unfamiliar genre, produce the same shapes. A flag says how a text sounds. It says nothing reliable about who wrote it, so pair flags with the surrounding genre and register before acting on them.

Where it applies

The skill runs on whatever text it is pointed at, and pattern removal happens at full strength in every genre. An API doc, commit message, or changelog receives the same tell removal as a blog post. Genre controls the target voice only. A humanized technical document still sounds like technical documentation; the tells go and the register stays. The rewrite never injects contractions, first person, or anecdotes into technical or formal writing, and any informality it introduces is itself flagged. Parameter lists and code blocks belong to the genre, so judgment keeps them while removing the tells around them. Quoted material and attributed text stay word-for-word. A tell inside quoted material gets flagged, and the passage itself goes untouched.

Modes

rewrite (default): flag AI-isms and rewrite the text to fix them.

audit: flag AI-isms only; no rewriting. Use when the writer wants to see how AI-sounding the text is and decide what to fix themselves, or when auditing text you don't want altered.
