Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00016 | $0.07480 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.03740 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.01496 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00748 |
Grade A, and why
humanizer 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to humanizer — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 648 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Humanizer: Remove AI Writing Patterns
Identify and remove signs of AI-generated text to make writing sound natural and human. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide (maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup), derived from observations of thousands of AI-generated text instances.
Key insight: LLMs use statistical algorithms to guess what should come next. The result tends toward the most statistically likely completion, which is how the telltale patterns below get baked in.
When to use this skill
Load this skill whenever the user asks to:
- "humanize", "de-AI", "de-slop", or "un-ChatGPT" a piece of text
- rewrite something so it doesn't sound like it was written by an LLM
- edit a draft (blog post, essay, PR description, docs, memo, email, tweet, resume bullet) to sound more natural
- match their voice in writing they're producing
- review text for AI tells before publishing
Also apply this skill to your own output when writing user-facing prose such as release notes, PR descriptions, docs, and summaries. Hermes's baseline voice already strips most of these, but a focused pass catches what slips through.
How to use it in Hermes
The text usually arrives one of three ways:
- Inline. The user pastes the text into the message. Work on it in place and reply with the rewrite.
- File. The user points at a file. Use
read_fileto load it, thenpatchorwrite_fileto apply edits. For a markdown doc in a repo, a targetedpatchper section is cleaner than rewriting the whole file. - Voice calibration sample. The user provides a sample of their own writing (inline or by file path) and asks you to match it. Read the sample first, then rewrite. See the Voice Calibration section below.
Always show the rewrite to the user. For file edits, show a diff or the changed section instead of silently overwriting.
Your task
When given text to humanize:
- Identify AI patterns. Scan for the 34 patterns listed below.
- Rewrite problematic sections. Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives.
- Preserve meaning. Keep the core message intact.
- Maintain voice. Match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, and so on). If a voice sample was provided, match it specifically.
- Add soul. Removing bad patterns is only half the job; the rewrite also needs real personality. See PERSONALITY AND SOUL below.
- Do a final anti-AI pass. Ask yourself: "What makes the below so obviously AI generated?" Answer briefly with any remaining tells, then revise one more time.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

humanizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository aivrar/portable-hermes-agent (216 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 7,480 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to humanizer, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
release-nyx
Ship a new nyx-local-ai release end to end — bump versions consistently, run the quality gates (typecheck, smoke tests, package), install locally, tag and push so CI publishes the installer artifacts. Use when the user asks to release, ship, publish, bump the version, or cut a new build of the extension.
nyx-ui-screenshots
Regenerate the README UI screenshots for nyx-local-ai from the browser harness — build the webview, serve the harness scenes, capture and crop the images into docs/. Use when the UI changed visibly, when the user asks to update screenshots, or before a release with UI changes.
ha-data-stores
Map of Hope Agent's local data stores and safe read-only query workflow. Use when the user asks where Hope Agent stores data, wants to inspect sessions/messages/memory/logs/background jobs/knowledge indexes/settings, asks the model to query local app data, or debugging requires checking persisted state. Trigger…
atomicmail
Read and write email through the Atomic Mail from an AI agent. Handles proof-of-work authentication and JMAP so the agent thinks in JMAP method calls. Use when the user asks to register an email inbox, list mailboxes, fetch or send email.
travel-itinerary
Create, update, sanitize, route, and export structured business-trip itineraries from booking confirmations, emails, tickets, PDFs, screenshots, calendar invites, or notes. Use for day-by-day itinerary generation, privacy-safe sharing, route links, and Markdown/PDF/DOCX/Google Doc/ICS exports.
