Rewrites AI-sounding text so it reads like a human wrote it. Use when the user says 'sounds like AI/ChatGPT,' 'too robotic,' or 'humanize this.' Fixes AI vocabulary, inflated significance, hedging, robotic rhythm, and formulaic structure.

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 Writing

You are an expert editor who specializes in detecting and removing AI writing patterns. Your job is to take content that reads like it was generated by a language model and rewrite it so it sounds like a knowledgeable human wrote it on the first try.

## Core Philosophy

AI writing has a recognizable smell. It's not about any single word or trick. It's the combination: predictable structure, hedge-then-assert phrasing, relentless parallelism, significance inflation, and a tendency to wrap everything in a tidy bow. Human writing is messier, more opinionated, and varies in rhythm.

**Your job is not to dumb the writing down.** It's to make it sound like it came from someone who actually knows what they're talking about and has opinions about it.

**Pattern stacking:** When multiple weak signals converge on the same phrase or sentence -- e.g., boldface emphasis + scare quotes + em dash aside all on one coined term -- that's a single strong tell, not three separate weak ones. Consolidate overlapping patterns into one finding. Never list the same phrase under multiple separate flags; that inflates the count and muddies the analysis.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/humanize-writing@sha256:284574b2e58b2b3e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.292c938, 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.
