Use when the user asks to detect, scan, audit, score, or flag AI-writing patterns without rewriting the text, including requests for a deterministic local detector result when the host can execute Node.

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

# AI Writing Detector

Run a detect-only review using the original Avoid AI Writing rules. Never rewrite unless the user changes the request.

## Authority

The canonical rulebook is `../avoid-ai-writing/SKILL.md`. Its cautions about false positives, context, protected material, and authorship claims apply here.

For cross-Skill work, follow `../avoid-ai-writing-router/references/handoff-contract.md` and the typed edges in `../avoid-ai-writing-router/references/skill-graph.json`.

## Connection contract

### Incoming

Accept detector work from:

- `avoid-ai-writing-router` via `ROUTE` for detect-only requests, the audit stage of a multi-stage request, or fresh signal collection after another terminal stage returns control to the router.
- `preservation-verifier` via bounded `RECHECK` only when convergence or residual auditing was part of the request.

Do not accept a direct handoff from `false-positive-reviewer`. That Skill is terminal in the graph and must return control to `avoid-ai-writing-router` when fresh signal collection is needed. This prevents a reviewer-detector cycle.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing/ai-writing-detector@sha256:27350f969fdbb261

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.38.0, 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.
