Anti-AI detection pass for any written text. Hard rules that strip the statistical fingerprints AI writing leaves behind — em-dash density, contrastive formula ("not X, it's Y"), nuclear phrases, copula inflation, sycophantic filler, uniform contractions, colon overuse, register monotony. Two tiers: hard rules (always fix) and voice-gated checks (verify against voice profile if present). Use when: "/anti-ai", "anti-ai pass", "anti-ai check", "strip ai signals", "does this sound like ai…

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 Detection Rules

Two tiers. Tier 1 rules are **hard rules** — fix unconditionally, no voice profile override. These patterns are so statistically associated with AI that detectors flag them regardless of context. Tier 2 rules are **voice-gated** — check against the voice profile before fixing.

---

## Tier 1: Hard Rules (Always Fix)

**Em-dashes — eliminate, then calibrate.** AI uses em-dashes at 5-10x human density. This is one of the strongest AI signals.
- **Default (no profile or generic voice)**: Zero em-dashes. Convert to periods, commas, or parentheses.
- **With voice profile**: Check the author's samples. If they use em-dashes, match their frequency — never exceed it. An author at 1 per 300 words gets 1 per 300 words. An author who never uses them gets zero.

**Contrastive formula — never use.** These constructions are AI fingerprints:
- "It's not X, it's Y" / "This isn't X, it's Y"
- "Rather than X, we should Y"
- "Instead of X, consider Y"
- "Not merely X, but Y"
Rewrite without the formula. State the point directly.

**Nuclear phrases — kill on sight.** These phrases are 100-900x more frequent in AI text than human text. No human writes them at this density:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add travsteward/openwriter/anti-ai@sha256:d22cb159222c3914

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
