Edit prose so it sounds like the author and reads plainly - stripping formulaic AI phrasing and replacing jargon with what it actually means. Use only when the user explicitly invokes /humanize.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# `/humanize` Revise the requested prose in place so it sounds like the author and so a reader gets it on the first pass. This is an editing command, not an AI-detection claim and not a report the user has to process. Two jobs, one pass: 1. **Remove the machine register.** Formulaic transitions, inflated framing, announcements that something is important, stacked hedging, generic praise. 2. **Make it plainer.** Replace a term with what it does. Say the thing instead of naming the method that did it. Default to the plainer wording and make each technical term earn its place. Neither job may change what is true. ## Resolve the target and the audience - Use the file, passage, or scope in `$ARGUMENTS`. For `all`, include prose relevant to the current deliverable and exclude rendered output, dependencies, vendored material, data, and code. - Plain is relative to a reader, so establish who is reading: the audience named in `$ARGUMENTS`, or the one the document itself names, or ask in one line. A specialist audience raises the bar for *which* terms are shared; it does not license jargon, and it never licenses a sentence that only makes sense to …

How to install
mdr add uchicago-dsi/ai-sci-skills/humanize@sha256:7425598f748d8606The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
