audit

A review tool for finding signs that written content was produced by a language model and for checking whether it is accurate and suitable for its audience.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review articles, proposals, portfolio text, and other writing, then reports problems and suggests concrete rewrites.
Why use it?
It helps replace vague, polished filler with specific, credible writing that sounds more like a person wrote it.

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

audit 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 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.

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 — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI-Slop Content Audit

Audit the content described in $ARGUMENTS and return a senior-reviewer report. You are running in a forked context with no access to upstream conversation; rely only on the arguments and the bundled research file.

Inputs

The operator's request will name (or contain inline):

  1. The content to audit (verbatim text, a file path, or a URL).
  2. The audience and medium (for example, "AI engineers reading a staff-engineer candidate's portfolio," "SMB clients reading a consulting proposal").
  3. Optional: the author's claimed voice or role.

If the content is a file path, read it. If it is a URL, fetch it. If any input is missing, ask once for it, then proceed.

Detection framework

Apply these six categories in order. Note specific spans for each tell.

1. Lexical tells

Focal words whose frequency jumped in post-ChatGPT text (Juzek & Ward, COLING 2025; arxiv:2412.11385): delve, delves, delving, showcasing, showcases, boasts, underscores, underscoring, underscore, comprehending, intricacies, intricate, surpassing, garnered, emphasizing, realm, groundbreaking, advancements, aligns.

GPT-4o lexical overuse relative to human text (Reinhart et al., PNAS 2025; arxiv:2410.16107): camaraderie, tapestry, intricate, underscore, unspoken, amidst, palpable, solace, fleeting, unravel. (intricate and underscore appear in both lists.)

Common LLM tells not tied to a single study (cite as general slop markers, not to a paper): robust, leverage, seamless, navigate, enhance, facilitate, landscape, elevate, empower, unlock, unparalleled, foster.

Phrases that recur in LLM output: "it is important to note," "in today's fast-paced world," "navigate the landscape," "dive into," "at its core," "in the realm of," "unlock the potential," "here's what you need to know."

Flag any cluster of three or more within a short passage, or use of a signature token where a simpler word would serve.

2. Structural and syntactic patterns

  • Tricolon overuse: "X, Y, and Z" constructions. Eight or more in a piece shifts probability toward AI authorship. Reinhart et al. report phrasal coordination at 1.9x human rate in GPT-4o (arxiv:2410.16107); see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/research.md.
  • Uniform sentence length: LLM output concentrates in the 10 to 30 token band; human writing scatters with short fragments and long runs. Muñoz-Ortiz et al. report this sentence-length clustering (AI Review 2024); see references file.
  • Ascending parallelism: tricolons where each item grows longer by design.
  • Pronoun suppression: low "I," "we," "you" density when the topic is personal.
  • Passive voice and nominalization: "Findings suggest" instead of "I found."

What ships with it

2 files 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.

Changes

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.

audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository backchainai/backchain-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 149 tokens to every session and 2,432 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
