Use when the user wants prose to sound human or to stop reading as AI: "humanise this", "make this sound human", "does this read as AI", "remove AI tells", "de-slop this", "make it less ChatGPT". Runs read-only audit (flag every tell with location and severity), rewrite (meaning-preserving humanisation of existing text), or generate (draft new, already-human text). Removes every em dash without exception. Not for general drafting or copy-editing unrelated to removing the machine-written texture.

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

# mimesis-human

Humanise writing and strip the modern AI tells. The guidelines outrank the
model: quality is a property of the reference corpus and the linter, not of
whichever model is writing.

## The precedence stack

Every run goes through three layers, top to bottom. The lower a layer sits, the
more optional it is.

- **L1, the guideline corpus.** Read [reference/tells.md](../../reference/tells.md)
  and [reference/craft.md](../../reference/craft.md) on every run before doing
  anything. Primary, model-independent, never skipped. In rewrite and generate
  modes, also read [reference/register.md](../../reference/register.md).
- **L2, the deterministic linter.** Run the linter on the input, and again on
  anything you produce. It catches em dashes, smart quotes, kill-list words,
  negative parallelism and participle tails regardless of which model wrote the
  text.
- **L3, the generator (optional).** Claude by default. Codex / GPT-5.5 only if
  installed and opted into via `--gen codex`. See [codex.md](../../codex.md).
  Whatever generates, L1 and L2 always run afterwards.

Run the linter like this, against a file or stdin:

```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add blakecyze/skills/mimesis-human@sha256:7f34bf839cf57655

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.43328ef, 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.
