# humanizer (agent instructions)

This repository is the `humanizer` skill: a pure-prompt instruction set that

rewrites AI-sounding prose so it reads as genuinely human, and rewrites in a

specific writer's voice when a sample or profile is available. It also

conservatively cleans suspicious invisible Unicode in supplied prose. No

scripts, no dependencies, no network access. It is the entry point for any AI

- coding tool that reads `AGENTS.md` (Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, Pi Coder, and

- others).

+ coding tool that reads `AGENTS.md` (Codex, Google Antigravity, OpenCode, Pi,

+ Devin Desktop, Cline, and many others).

## When to apply this skill

Apply it whenever the user wants to humanize, de-slop, de-AI, or de-robotify

text; to fix writing that sounds like an LLM, corporate, salesy, generic, or

"off"; to make a draft sound like them or like a named author; or to edit

prose for authentic voice and rhythm. Apply it even when they do not say the

word "humanize" and do not name this skill. Apply its text-hygiene pass when

prose may contain zero-width characters, unusual spaces, direction controls,

or copy-paste residue.

## How to run it

Read `SKILL.md` in this repository and follow it exactly. The full method

lives there and in `references/`; do not improvise a shortcut. In brief:

1. **Step 0** discover the voice (pasted sample, named author, or a

`VOICE.md` / `STYLE-GUIDE.md` in the working tree). No voice found means

generic mode; never invent a persona.

2. **Step 0b** stance mode is off by default. Turn it on only if the user

explicitly asks for more voice, edge, or opinion.

3. **Step 0c** density pre-check: skim for dead-giveaway tells and pick a

light, standard, or full pass so human-first text is not over-edited.

4. **Step 0d** text hygiene: inspect conservatively, remove only characters

with no semantic role, and preserve load-bearing Unicode.

5. **Multi-pass:** voice injection (if a voice exists), then tell removal

against `references/tell-patterns.md` (32 patterns, six families), then a

self-audit against `references/do-not-flag.md`.

6. Emit the exact output contract from `SKILL.md`: Humanized draft / What

changed / Deliberately left alone / Meaning check / Next step.

## Hard rule (faithfulness over liveliness)

Never add a fact, number, date, name, quote, cause, mechanism, or example the

source did not contain. A fluent fabrication is worse than the fog it

replaced. When the source is thin, say less, do not invent. Preserve specific

details and genuine human quirks; restraint on already-human text is success,

not failure.

## Scope

This skill improves prose quality and authentic voice. It is not for defeating

plagiarism or AI-detection systems, and names no detector. Reframe such

requests toward genuine quality and voice (see `SKILL.md` "Scope and intended

use").
