Skill that audits and rewrites content to remove AI writing patterns. Use it with your favorite agents including Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, and Hermes.
avoid-ai-writing is a portable writing skill that detects common patterns associated with AI-generated prose and can rewrite them or make targeted edits to prose files. It is for users of Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, and other compatible coding agents who want text to sound more like human writing. The catalogue entries are the skill's rule and instruction components.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what avoid-ai-writing tells them →

Skill Claude CodeCodex
Audit and rewrite content to remove AI writing patterns ("AI-isms"). Use this skill when asked to "remove AI-isms," "clean up AI writing," "edit writing for AI patterns," "audit writing for AI tells," or "make this sound less like AI."

conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when the user asks to detect, scan, audit, score, or flag AI-writing patterns without rewriting the text, including requests for a deterministic local detector result when the host can execute Node.
conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when a request combines AI-writing audit, rewrite, file editing, voice preservation, false-positive interpretation, verification, or when the user invokes Avoid AI Writing without naming a mode.
conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when a user asks what AI-writing flags mean, whether detector output proves AI authorship, or wants a careful interpretation of possible false positives, especially for academic, hiring, publication, disciplinary, or other consequential decisions.
conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when the user names a local file and explicitly asks to clean, rewrite, humanize, or remove AI-writing patterns in that file itself, with minimal targeted edits and post-edit verification.
conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when the user provides an original and rewritten version, asks whether a rewrite preserved protected content, or wants a deterministic check for code, frontmatter, quotes, tables, links, paths, numbers, headings, and residual AI-pattern regressions.
conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing
Skill Codex
Use when the user asks to rewrite, humanize, clean up, or remove AI-isms from text while preserving the writer's voice, facts, intent, structure, register, and protected material.
