check

A checker that looks for writing patterns commonly associated with text produced by artificial intelligence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review drafts and receive a score with the specific patterns that triggered it. It reports findings but does not rewrite the text.
Why use it?
It helps identify wording that may seem generic, overly polished, or machine-written before publication.

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

check scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 409 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check

Reads a piece of text and reports how strongly it reads as AI-written, with a concrete list of what fired and why. This is a find-only skill - it never rewrites anything. See polish for the fix side.

How the scoring works

Every check below is a tell: something that either fires or doesn't. Each tell carries a fixed weight - 1 (weak), 2 (moderate), or 3 (strong) - based on how reliable it is as evidence on its own. Add up the weights of everything that fires, then divide by the text's length in hundreds of words to get a tell density: points per 100 words. A 2,000-word article and a 40-word reply shouldn't be judged on the same raw total, so density normalizes for length. For anything under 100 words - the common case for a single post or reply - skip the division and use the raw total directly against the same bands, with confidence capped lower given the small sample.

Density (points per 100 words) Verdict
0 - 1 Reads human
1 - 3 Mostly human
3 - 6 Mixed signals
6 - 10 Reads AI
10+ Heavily AI

A phrase can count toward at most two tells when it's genuinely diagnostic for both (e.g. "it is important to note that" is both stock vocabulary and reflexive hedging) - never double-count it twice within the same tell.

Cluster 1: Word choice

Vocabulary and phrase-level tells - wrong regardless of what sentence they sit in.

Stock AI vocabulary (weight 1 each, capped at 3 points total for this tell even if more fire): delve, leverage (verb), utilize, robust, comprehensive, streamline, foster/fostering, facilitate, pivotal, nuanced, notable/notably, enduring, garner, valuable, vibrant, intricate/intricacies, interplay, tapestry (abstract noun), testament (figurative), underscore (verb), showcase (verb), key (as a vague adjective), align with, emphasizing, enhance, quietly (as a hedge-flavored adverb), multifaceted, in the realm of, the landscape of (abstract noun), a myriad of, a plethora of, actually (as filler), additionally (as an opener), it is worth noting, it is important to note. Cite the exact word that fired.

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.

check is a skill published in the GitHub repository an2n/ghostwriter (1 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 5,229 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
