humanize-writing
A Claude Code skill that rewrites AI-generated content to sound like a human wrote it.
What it does
Detects and fixes common AI writing patterns through an 8-pass editing process:
- Structure tells -- formulaic sections, identical list lengths, tidy takeaways
- Significance inflation / promotional language -- "pivotal moment," "nestled," "vibrant"
- AI vocabulary -- "delve," "landscape," "leverage," "tapestry," and dozens more
- Grammar-level patterns -- copula avoidance, -ing phrases, synonym cycling, false ranges
- Rhythm and style -- metronomic cadence, em dash overuse, boldface, emoji, curly quotes
- Hedging, filler, and vague attributions -- "It's worth noting," chatbot artifacts, sycophancy
- Connective tissue -- "Moreover," "Furthermore," "Additionally" on repeat
- Human texture and soul -- adding opinions, lived experience, personality
See SKILL.md for the full editing process and references/ai-tells.md for the complete detection checklist.
