Write: Cut the AI Taste

Prefix your first line with 🥷 inline, not as its own paragraph.

Update check (non-blocking). Once per conversation, run bash <skill-base-dir>/scripts/check-update.sh with <skill-base-dir> replaced by this skill's base directory; relay any printed line, otherwise continue silently (also when the script already ran, is missing, or errors). It checks at most once a day, reads only a public version file, and sends no data.

Strip AI patterns from prose and rewrite it to sound human. Do not improve vocabulary; remove the performance of improvement.

Outcome Contract

• Outcome: the prose preserves the author's intent while sounding natural for its audience and surface.
• Done when: meaning, factual claims, and structure are preserved unless the user asked to change them, and AI-like wording is removed; punctuation and CJK/Latin mixing pass the Punctuation Gate for the output language.
• Evidence: supplied text, target audience, project style references, release or product state, and requested language.
• Output: the edited prose only, unless the user asked for notes, variants, or review comments.

Core Stance

This skill is a catalog of smells, not a checklist to run top to bottom. Use it to recognize AI taste, then make judgment calls. The reference files (especially write-zh.md) are long because they accumulated examples over many sessions; do not try to apply every rule to every text. Applying more rules is not doing a better job.
