humanizer

humanizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from datatorag/mcp-gateway. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,008 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A text-editing guide that identifies and removes common signs of AI-generated writing. It also asks for a final self-review and keeps the original meaning, voice, and intended tone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise drafts, find artificial-sounding wording, and produce more natural text in a chosen style.
Why use it?
It helps make existing text sound less formulaic without simply making it shorter or changing what it says.

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 4d 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.

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.

Adapted from u/quang-vybe's "humanizer" Claude skill shared on r/ClaudeCode (2026-04). See also Anbeeld/WRITING.md for compact and mini variants.


Your Task

When given text to humanize:

  • Identify AI patterns: scan for the patterns listed below
  • Rewrite problematic sections: replace AI-isms with natural alternatives
  • Preserve meaning: keep the core message intact
  • Maintain voice: match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, etc.)
  • Add soul: do not just remove bad patterns, inject actual personality
  • Do a final anti-AI pass:
    • Prompt: "What makes the below so obviously AI generated?"
    • Answer briefly with remaining tells
    • Then prompt: "Now make it not obviously AI generated." and revise

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.

Signs of soulless writing

  • Every sentence has the same length and structure
  • No opinions, just neutral reporting
  • No acknowledgment of uncertainty or mixed feelings
  • No first-person perspective when appropriate
  • No humor, no edge, no personality
  • Reads like a Wikipedia article or press release

How to add voice

  • Have opinions. Do not just report facts, react to them

    • Example: "Part of me thinks this is genius. Another part thinks it's a terrible idea."
  • Vary your rhythm

    • Short punchy sentences
    • Then longer ones that take their time
  • Acknowledge complexity

    • Example: "It works, but it also feels like a workaround more than a real solution."
  • Use "I" when it fits

    • Example: "I keep noticing the same issue every time I use it."
  • Let some mess in

    • Tangents and asides are human
  • Be specific about feelings

    • Not "this is concerning" but something concrete

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 datatorag/mcp-gateway (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 2,008 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
