Humanizer: Remove AI writing patterns

Edit text so it sounds like a real person wrote it: clearer rhythm, stronger specificity, less filler, and no chatbot artifacts. Keep the original meaning, facts, and intent.

Quick quality checklist

• name matches folder name exactly (humanizer)
• Examples are copy-paste runnable (Bash + Node.js)
• Rewrites preserve factual claims and scope
• Output includes rewritten text and optional concise change summary
• No invented facts, citations, or sources

When to use

• User asks to “humanize”, “de-AI”, “make this sound natural”, or “remove AI tone”
• Draft sounds generic, inflated, formulaic, or overly polished
• Content has chatbot artifacts (hedging, servile tone, boilerplate intros/outros)
• You need a tighter, more direct style without changing factual claims

Required tools / APIs

• No external API required
• Optional local tools for batch editing:
  • rg (ripgrep) for pattern detection
  • node (v18+) for scripted rewrite pipelines

Install options:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install -y ripgrep nodejs npm

# macOS
brew install ripgrep node

Skills

basic_usage

Use this flow for single passages:

1. Identify AI-patterns in the input
2. Rewrite sentences to simpler constructions
3. Replace vague claims with specific details when provided
4. Keep tone aligned to the user’s context (formal/casual/technical)
5. Return the rewritten text

Bash (pattern scan):

cat input.txt \
  | rg -n -i "\b(additionally|crucial|pivotal|underscores|highlighting|fostering|landscape|testament|vibrant)\b|\b(i hope this helps|let me know if|great question)\b|—|[“”]"

Node.js (simple rule-based humanizer):

function humanizeText(text) {
  const replacements = [
    [/\bIn order to\b/g, "To"],
    [/\bDue to the fact that\b/g, "Because"],
    [/\bAt this point in time\b/g, "Now"],
    [/\bIt is important to note that\b/g, ""],
    [/\bI hope this helps!?\b/gi, ""],
    [/\bLet me know if you'd like.*$/gim, ""],
    [/\bserves as\b/g, "is"],
    [/\bstands as\b/g, "is"],
    [/\bboasts\b/g, "has"],
    [/—/g, ","],
    [/[“”]/g, '"']
  ];

  let output = text;
  for (const [pattern, to] of replacements) {
    output = output.replace(pattern, to);
  }

  return output
    .replace(/\s{2,}/g, " ")
    .replace(/\n{3,}/g, "\n\n")
    .trim();
}

// Usage:
// const fs = require('node:fs');
// const input = fs.readFileSync('input.txt', 'utf8');
// console.log(humanizeText(input));
