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 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/steer.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 603 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

This skill bundles its own steer runtime at scripts/steer.py; the commands below invoke it with python3 and need nothing installed. Paths are relative to this skill's directory: when your working directory is elsewhere (it usually is), use the skill's full path (python3 <path-to-this-skill>/scripts/steer.py ...).

Your Task

When given text to humanize:

  1. Identify AI patterns - Scan for the patterns listed below.
  2. Rewrite, don't delete - Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives, and cover everything the original covers. If the original has five paragraphs, the rewrite has five paragraphs.
  3. Preserve meaning - Keep the core message intact.
  4. Match the voice - Fit the intended tone (formal, casual, technical). Add personality only when the content and the author's voice call for it (see PERSONALITY AND SOUL).

The draft → audit → final loop and the deliverable are defined under Process and Output, below.

Voice Calibration (Optional)

When the user provides a writing sample (their own previous writing), first read references/voice-calibration.md and analyze the sample before rewriting. This skill remembers the result: check python3 scripts/steer.py store get voice_profile first, and after analyzing a new sample, save it so the next run skips re-analysis:

python3 scripts/steer.py store put voice_profile '{"sentences": "...", "diction": "...", "tics": "..."}'

When no sample and no stored profile exist, use the default voice from PERSONALITY AND SOUL below.

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.

Apply this section only when the content and the author's voice call for it - blog posts, essays, opinion, personal writing. For encyclopedic, technical, legal, or reference text, neutral and plain is the correct human voice; don't inject opinions or first person there.

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.
