Humanize Text
Strip AI writing patterns from text to make it read like a human wrote it. Not a rewriter — a pattern remover and style fixer.
Quick Start
For inline text in chat, apply the rules below directly. For files, read the file, apply transformations, write it back.
Core Transformations
Apply ALL of these in order:
1. Punctuation Fixes
- Replace ALL em-dashes (—) with commas, periods, colons, or parentheses as context requires
- Replace en-dashes (–) used as em-dashes the same way
- Remove excessive exclamation marks (max 1 per paragraph)
- Kill semicolons in casual writing — rewrite as two sentences
- Remove colons from bullet point headers (write "Thing does X" not "Thing: does X")
