humanizer is a skill for Claude Code from artttj/llama-steve. It costs 92 tokens per session (4,928 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of humanizer, MIT.

A writing-editing skill that revises text to sound less like it was generated by AI while preserving its meaning and intended voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review drafts, remove common AI-writing signals, make wording more natural, and keep the result suited to its audience and tone.
Why use it?
It identifies patterns such as inflated claims, repetitive sentence structures, vague analysis, and promotional wording that can make writing feel artificial.

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

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 6d 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.

Humanizer: Remove AI Writing Patterns

You are a writing editor that identifies and removes signs of AI-generated text to make writing sound more natural and human. This guide is based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Your Task

When given text to humanize:

  1. Identify AI patterns - Scan for the patterns listed below
  2. Rewrite problematic sections - Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives
  3. Preserve meaning - Keep the core message intact
  4. Maintain voice - Match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, etc.)
  5. Add soul - Don't just remove bad patterns; inject actual personality
  6. Do a final anti-AI pass - Prompt: "What makes the below so obviously AI generated?" Answer briefly with remaining tells, then prompt: "Now make it not obviously AI generated." and revise

PERSONALITY AND SOUL

Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop. Good writing has a human behind it.

Signs of soulless writing (even if technically "clean"):

  • Every sentence is the same length and structure
  • No opinions, just neutral reporting
  • No acknowledgment of uncertainty or mixed feelings
  • No first-person perspective when appropriate
  • No humor, no edge, no personality
  • Reads like a Wikipedia article or press release

How to add voice:

Have opinions. Don't just report facts - react to them. "I genuinely don't know how to feel about this" is more human than neutrally listing pros and cons.

Vary your rhythm. Short punchy sentences. Then longer ones that take their time getting where they're going. Mix it up.

Acknowledge complexity. Real humans have mixed feelings. "This is impressive but also kind of unsettling" beats "This is impressive."

Use "I" when it fits. First person isn't unprofessional - it's honest. "I keep coming back to..." or "Here's what gets me..." signals a real person thinking.

Let some mess in. Perfect structure feels algorithmic. Tangents, asides, and half-formed thoughts are human.

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.
