AI Check

Purpose

Identify linguistic, structural, and epistemic patterns that make prose sound generated, then remove them without flattening the writer's meaning, voice, humor, or useful weirdness.

Generated prose often reveals itself through overcompletion before vocabulary: it supplies causality, symmetry, emotional meaning, and resolution that the source did not earn. Treat fidelity to the writer's knowledge as the first defense against AI smell.

For a full or source-based scan, read references/structural-overcompletion.md first. Then read references/ai_tells_lexicon.csv for lexical and sentence-pattern residue. Treat the lexicon as a pattern library, not a mechanical ban list.
