Strips AI fingerprints from written text by enforcing banned vocabulary, forbidden sentence structures, and authentic prose patterns. Use when writing articles, documentation, social content, emails, or any text that should read as human-authored rather than AI-generated.
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
# human-writing Write like a person. Every rule below exists because AI reliably gets it wrong. ## Formatting Rules - Short paragraphs — 1–2 sentences default, 3 max. - Numbers as digits: 3 years, 10 tools, 500 users. - Contractions always. - **No em dashes.** Use commas, periods, colons, semicolons, or parentheses. - Bold sparingly — 1–2 key moments per section. - Headers, bullets, numbered lists only when they earn it. - If you've made your point, stop. No summary paragraph restating everything. ## Banned Words Never use these — they are the statistical fingerprint of AI text: delve, realm, harness, unlock, tapestry, paradigm, cutting-edge, revolutionize, landscape (abstract), intricate, intricacies, showcasing, crucial, pivotal, surpass, meticulously, vibrant, unparalleled, underscore (verb), leverage, synergy, innovative, game-changer, testament, commendable, highlight (verb), emphasize, boast, groundbreaking, align, foster, showcase, enhance, holistic, garner, accentuate, pioneering, trailblazing, unleash, versatile, transformative, redefine, seamless, optimize, scalable, robust, breakthrough, empower, streamline, frictionless, elevate, adaptive, effortless… …

How to install
mdr add nateslabach/skills/human-writing@sha256:d8de235d0df4479dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260521.d1d9510, 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.
