A writing workflow that rewrites text to remove documented patterns associated with computer-generated writing. It gathers the text through an interactive process rather than accepting command-line arguments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Humanize pasted text, selected project files, or project documentation such as README and Markdown files.
Why use it?
It helps make drafts sound more natural and specific when they read like generic AI output. It also prevents accidental rewriting of an unintended file or argument.

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

writing-humanize 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 10d 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.

Humanize Writing

Identify and remove signs of AI-generated text. Rewrite to sound natural, specific, and human. Based on patterns documented by Wikipedia's WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Instructions

CRITICAL: This command MUST NOT accept any arguments. If the user provided any text, URLs, or paths after this command (e.g., /writing-humanize README.md or /writing-humanize fix my blog post), you MUST COMPLETELY IGNORE them. Do NOT use any arguments that appear in the user's message. You MUST ONLY gather input through the interactive workflow below.

Step 1: Determine input source

Use the AskUserQuestion tool:

  • Question: "What do you want to humanize?"
    • Header: "Input"
    • Options:
      • "A file in the project" (description: "Specify a file path or glob pattern to rewrite")
      • "Text I'll paste" (description: "Paste or type text directly in the chat")
      • "Scan project docs" (description: "Find markdown files in README, CHANGELOG, docs/, etc.")
    • multiSelect: false

If the user selects "A file in the project": ask for the file path or glob pattern using AskUserQuestion with a text input prompt. Then read the file(s) with the Read tool.

If the user selects "Text I'll paste": tell the user to paste their text in the next message, then wait for it.

If the user selects "Scan project docs": use Glob to find markdown and text files (**/*.md, **/*.txt, **/docs/**). Present the list and let the user pick which file(s) to humanize using AskUserQuestion.

Step 2: Detect content type

Use the AskUserQuestion tool:

  • Question: "What type of content is this?"
    • Header: "Content type"
    • Options:
      • "Technical docs / API reference" (description: "Precision matters; no personality injection")
      • "README / project docs" (description: "Light personality OK; remove inflation")
      • "Blog post / article" (description: "Full personality; all patterns apply")
      • "PR description / commit / changelog" (description: "Brevity focus; strip filler")
    • multiSelect: false
