Rewrites AI-sounding prose until it reads as human-written. Use this skill when a draft reads like AI wrote it: em dashes, colon splices, negative parallelism, empty intensifiers, slogan rhythm, and the same point restated across sections.

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

# Strip AI Tells

## When to Use

The user wants prose that reads as human-written.
Typical phrasings are "strip the AI tells", "de-AI this", "make this sound less like AI", "remove the em dashes", "this reads like ChatGPT wrote it", "humanize this draft", and "reads like an AI note to self".

This is not a proofread: spelling, grammar, and ordinary punctuation stay out of scope.
Change word choice, sentence shape, and the patterns in the inventory.

## Scope

Work on the whole document by default.
Restrict the pass to a section when the user has selected one or named one, and say which range you worked on.

Leave quoted or copied material alone, such as a passage taken from another document or a section written by someone else, unless the user asked for a full sweep.
Say which sections you skipped and why.

## Make the Edits Reviewable

Turn on the editor's change tracking or revision mode before the first edit, when the environment has one, so the user can see and reject every rewrite.
Say in one line that you turned it on.
Never turn it off during the rewrite.

Make the edits silently only when the user asks for that.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/strip-ai-tells@sha256:cfe57829c4c08106

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.45f5be4, 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.
