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 9d 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 — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Humanizer

Takes AI-sounding writing and makes it sound like a person wrote it. Grounded in Wikipedia's Signs of AI writing guide, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Key insight from that page: "LLMs use statistical algorithms to guess what should come next. The result tends toward the most statistically likely result that applies to the widest variety of cases." That's why AI writing feels smoothed-over and genericized: the model is producing the statistical average of what a sentence looks like. Humanizing means putting specificity, rhythm, and a point of view back in.

How this skill is organized

The pattern catalog is not ours. It comes from blader/humanizer, MIT licensed, and is vendored here unchanged so it stays current without anyone re-typing it.

  • This file: the workflow, the language rule, output sizing, and the voice guidance.
  • references/upstream-patterns.md: the full pattern catalog, straight from upstream. Every pattern has a words-to-watch list, the underlying problem, a before/after example, and notes on what not to flag.
  • references/voice-calibration.md: how to match a user's writing sample.
  • references/example.md: a long-form before/after at full-essay scale.

Read references/upstream-patterns.md on every real humanizing pass. It is the authority on which patterns exist and how to fix each one. This file is the authority on workflow, output length, language scope, and voice. Where the two disagree, this file wins.

The patterns group into five families: content (what AI over-claims), language and grammar (how it phrases things), style (surface formatting tells), chatbot leakage (register left over from the assistant), and filler and hedging (padding). Deliberately no numbered index here: upstream adds and renumbers patterns, and a second list would drift out of sync with the first.

Scope: full pass in English, structural pass in any language

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.

humanizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository betahope/cofounder-team (27 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 2,555 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-08-30.
