Humanizer: Remove AI Writing Patterns

Attribution

This skill is adapted from the upstream humanizer skill at https://github.com/blader/humanizer (v2.5.1) by Siqi Chen, released under the MIT License. The upstream patterns are themselves a distillation of Wikipedia:Signs of AI writing, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Upstream content (preserved with minor copyedits): the 29 AI-writing patterns and their before/after examples, the "Personality and Soul" section, the "Voice Calibration" section, the "Process" and "Output Format" sections, the "Full Example", and the closing "Reference" note.

Additions for the research-skills marketplace:

  • The YAML frontmatter (rewritten in marketplace description style with academic-trigger phrases).
  • The "Research writing context" section (including the "When to soften or skip a pattern", "Reconciling with research-skills conventions", and "When to invoke this skill in the writing workflow" subsections).
  • The per-pattern "Research writing note" callouts on 11 of the 29 patterns.
  • The "Cross-references in the research-skills marketplace" section near the end.

The MIT license is preserved in the LICENSE file in this skill directory; the additions above are released under MIT as well to keep upstream compatibility. National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), American Psychological Association (APA), and American Chemical Society (ACS) referenced later in this file follow standard agency/society abbreviations.
