de-ai-flavor

de-ai-flavor is a skill for Claude Code from anneheartrecord/charles-skill. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,512 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing tool that rewrites Markdown, short posts, and longer articles to sound more like a real person and less like generic AI writing. It uses a personal writing-style profile rather than inventing a new voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to polish public-facing posts and other long-form writing when you want a more human tone.
Why use it?
It helps remove repetitive or artificial-sounding phrasing while keeping the author’s established style as the guide.

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

de-ai-flavor 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

de-ai-flavor

Strip AI tone out of a piece of writing and rewrite it so it sounds like the author actually wrote it.

This skill does not invent voice. It needs a personal style profile to rewrite against. The profile lives in a Markdown file the user maintains. The skill reads the profile, then applies a fixed checklist.

When to use

  • User hands over a draft and asks to remove AI tone
  • User says: "polish this", "less AI please", "make it sound like me", "rewrite this in my voice"
  • After generating any public-facing post / tweet / blog Markdown — run it automatically before finalizing

When NOT to use

  • README files, technical docs, code comments — these can stay formal
  • Drafts that don't have full logic yet (write first, de-AI later)
  • Code itself

Setup: the style profile

Before first use, the user must create a personal style profile. Default expected location:

~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/memory/writing_style.md

If the file is missing, the skill should ask the user where their style profile lives, or help them bootstrap one from 3–5 of their best existing pieces.

A good style profile defines:

  1. Narrative structure (does the author open with a scene? a number? a feeling?)
  2. Sentence rhythm (long-short alternation? short sentences as standalone paragraphs?)
  3. Tone (self-deprecating? hesitant? colloquial words to keep?)
  4. Conclusion style (do they end on a quiet beat or a punchline?)
  5. AI markers to ban (transition words, symmetric structures, table summaries, etc.)
  6. Forced rewrite actions (concrete steps to apply on every pass)

An example profile lives in examples/style-profile-example.md.

Process

Step 0: Load the style profile

Open the profile file. Read it fully. Keep it in context for the whole pass.

Step 1: Diagnose — don't rewrite yet

Read the original draft once. Find every instance of these 6 AI-tone problems and list them for the user:

  1. Transition glue: however, therefore, in conclusion, moreover, furthermore, worth noting that, what's more (然而、因此、综上、不仅、更重要的是)
  2. Symmetric triples: "not A, but B" repeated, three-item parallel structures stacked
  3. Punchline endings: every paragraph closes with a polished aphorism
  4. Flat abstraction: the whole piece floats at concept level, never lands on a specific detail
  5. Structuralist itch: 1/2/3/4 numbered lists, symmetric subheads, summary tables
  6. Over-stuffed paragraphs: every sentence delivers value — no hesitation, no self-correction, no breathing room

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.
