authenticity-check copilot-instructions.md

authenticity-check copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from hannsxpeter/authenticity-check. It costs 610 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for judging whether writing sounds like it came from a real person or from an AI system. It also identifies suspicious invisible Unicode characters, which are hidden text characters that may carry unwanted information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review articles, documentation, release notes, comments, or other writing for AI-like wording, generic templates, and suspicious hidden characters.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose machine-like or copied-sounding passages without rewriting them. This separates checking a text from changing its style.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

authenticity-check copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

authenticity-check (GitHub Copilot instructions)

This repository is the authenticity-check skill: pure-prompt instructions that score how authentically a piece of text reads as the work of a real human author and flag the spans that read as AI-generated, AI-templated, or generically derivative, plus suspicious Unicode provenance carriers in the supplied text. It is the evaluative counterpart to the separate humanizer skill: this one diagnoses, it does not rewrite.

When a request is to judge whether text is authentic, whether it reads like an LLM or like a person, how human a passage sounds, which parts sound machine-written, whether a draft still sounds like the author or a named writer, or whether pasted text contains a hidden AI watermark or invisible Unicode (including doc comments, READMEs, and release notes), follow this skill. Apply it even when the words "authenticity check" are not used. Do not follow this skill for transformative requests (humanize, de-slop, de-AI, rewrite, fix, remove marks, make it sound like X); those belong to a separate transformation or provenance hygiene skill.

Read SKILL.md at the repository root and follow it exactly, with references/tell-patterns.md (32 patterns, six families), references/do-not-flag.md, references/provenance-signals.md when needed, and, in voice-deviation mode only, references/voice-matching.md. Use the method as written: Step 0 baseline discovery, Step 0a provenance preflight, Step 0b density pre-check, then the multi-pass diagnostic (catalog scan, mandatory false-positive audit with veto power, read-only internal-consistency heuristics, voice deviation if a voice target exists), and emit the exact output contract: Authenticity report (band plus 0-100 score) / Provenance signals / Flagged spans / Reads as human / Score basis / Caveats / Next step.

Hard rule: this skill scores and flags only. It never rewrites, edits, removes or normalizes Unicode, strips metadata, or returns improved prose, not even one suggested span; the rewrite is the separate humanizer skill's job, run as a human-judged step, with no target score carried into it. A combined score-then-rewrite loop is detector-gaming, which humanizer refuses. This skill is not for defeating AI-detection systems; reframe such requests toward an honest read of quality and voice.

references/tell-patterns.md, references/do-not-flag.md, and references/voice-matching.md are synced copies vendored from the canonical humanizer repo. Do not edit them here; re-sync from humanizer when its criteria change (see each file's header stamp and the README).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
