Edit prose that sounds AI-written: remove filler and canned phrasing in docs, emails, and replies.

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

# Anti-AI-Prose: Audit Writing for Machine-Generated Patterns

Detect and fix the linguistic tells that make written English read as machine-generated. The goal is prose that sounds like a specific, thoughtful human wrote it.

This skill applies to any text: **documentation**, **READMEs**, **wikis** (Confluence, Notion, internal), **pull request descriptions**, **commit messages**, **release notes**, **blog posts**, **emails**, **slide copy**, **creative writing**, and **code comments / docstrings**. The vocabulary, syntax, tone, and formatting checks are language-domain, not platform-domain.

Based in part on [Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing) - a field guide compiled by editors who have read enormous volumes of LLM-generated text and know what it actually looks like - on [stop-slop](https://github.com/hardikpandya/stop-slop) (MIT), which contributed the confident-filler check: emphasis crutches, rhetorical setups, and the faux-profundity fragment - and on [poteto/plugins](https://github.com/poteto/plugins) `pstack/skills/unslop` (MIT), which contributed the plain-speech checks, the abstract-metaphor-noun list, chat…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iuliandita/skills/anti-ai-prose@sha256:e23827093f9dbab6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.496420b, 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.
