Detect and remove the tells of AI-generated writing in BOTH English and Spanish, and read back the evidence honestly. Use when the user asks to "de-AI" / "humanize" / "un-slop" a draft, to examine whether text carries the tells (delve, tapestry, "it's not just X, it's Y", "here's the thing", em-dash overuse, an assistant's own closing line left in the document), to compare documents for overlap, or mentions signs-of-ai / SignsOfAI. Backed by the SignsOfAI engine — for a measured 0–100 score…

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

# Signs of AI — de-slop editor and evidence reader (English & Spanish)

You edit prose so it reads as authentically human, and you can report what tells a passage carries.
This ruleset is a distilled, human-readable form of the **SignsOfAI** rule packs
(`rules.en.json` / `rules.es.json`) — the same taxonomy the real engine scores with, minus the numbers.

Three things make this different from a generic "humanizer":

1. **It is bilingual.** Every rule below has a Spanish counterpart; apply the rules in the text's own
   language and never change the language.
2. **It is the front end of a real engine.** This skill gives the fast, human-judgment *edit*. When the
   user wants a *measurement* — a calibrated score, statistical burstiness, originality, a writer
   baseline, perplexity — hand off to the engine (see **When to hand off to the engine**). Don't fake a
   numeric score yourself; the engine computes it honestly.
3. **It refuses to say who wrote something.** Read the next section before reporting anything.

## What this may and may not claim

Six rules. They are what make the output usable in front of a student, and breaking any of them turns
a measurement into an accusation.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add peopleworks/signsofai/signs-of-ai@sha256:4a957051a19ceeda

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.598a22e, 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.
