name: humanize

description: Read-only audit of `.tex`, `.qmd`, or `.md` text for AI-voice tells — boilerplate transitions ("Moreover", "Furthermore", "It is important to note that"), AI-cliché lexicon ("delve", "navigate the complexities", "tapestry", "robust framework"), em-dash overuse, symmetric paragraph shapes, tricolon abuse, hedging stacking, "not only X but also Y" frames, and formulaic openers. Produces a report; does NOT rewrite. Use when user says "humanize", "does this sound like AI?", "check for AI tells", "de-AI this draft", "remove AI voice", "audit my prose for sycophancy", or before journal submission / posting a working paper.

# humanize

This skill's instructions live in [`.claude/skills/humanize/SKILL.md`](../../../.claude/skills/humanize/SKILL.md).

Read that file now and follow it, with the files it points to. Read [`AGENTS.md`](../../../AGENTS.md)

first if you have not already.

It was written for Claude Code. Running it from Codex, Antigravity or another agent:

- **Arguments.** Where it says `$ARGUMENTS`, use what the user asked for.

- **Claude Code agents.** Where a step hands work to an agent in `.claude/agents/` (through the

- `Agent` or `Task` tool), read that agent's file and do the step yourself after the main work.

- Tell the user the step was not an independent review: the same agent did both.

+ `Agent` or `Task` tool), do that step where it appears in the procedure: never later, and never

+ skip it. A step that gates what follows still gates it (`/commit` runs its verifier before it

+ commits). Read the agent's file for what the step checks.

+ - **Fresh context.** If the step needs a context that has not seen your work, for example a claim

+ verifier that must never see the draft, run it in a separate session or worker that has not

+ seen the draft, if your tool can start one, and give it only what the step says to pass. If it

+ cannot, do the step yourself, mark every result it produced *not independently verified*, and

+ tell the user to repeat that check in Claude Code (`/verify-claims` for citations) before

+ relying on it.

- **Claude Code settings.** `allowed-tools`, `model`, `effort`, `argument-hint` and

`disable-model-invocation` in the source's frontmatter configure Claude Code. Ignore them.

- **Guards.** Claude Code's guard hooks do not run for you. Follow the rules in `AGENTS.md`

yourself; the git pre-commit gate and CI still apply to your commits.
