ai-writing-detection is a skill for Claude Code from dp-archive/archive. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference for identifying patterns associated with AI-generated writing while considering false positives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze text for possible AI authorship and learn common model-writing fingerprints.
Why use it?
It gives reviewers concrete vocabulary and structure patterns to examine instead of relying on a single detector result.

About the project

Skill Compose is an open-source platform for building and running AI agents that use modular skills. It is intended for creating skill-powered agents without workflow graphs or a command-line interface, and the catalogue skills are examples of those agent capabilities.

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

ai-writing-detection 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.

AI Writing Detection Reference

Expert-level knowledge base for detecting AI-generated text, compiled from academic research, commercial detection tools, and empirical analysis.

Quick Reference: High-Confidence Signals

These indicators strongly suggest AI authorship when found together:

Vocabulary Red Flags

High-signal words (50-700x more common in AI text):

  • "delve", "tapestry", "nuanced", "multifaceted", "underscore"
  • "intricate interplay", "played a crucial role", "complex and multifaceted"
  • "paramount", "pivotal", "meticulous", "holistic", "robust"
  • "stands/serves as", "marking a pivotal moment", "underscores its importance"

Overused phrases:

  • "It's important to note that..."
  • "In today's fast-paced world..."
  • "At its core..."
  • "Without further ado..."
  • "Let me explain..."

See reference/vocabulary-patterns.md for complete lists.

Structural Red Flags

  • Uniform sentence lengths: 12-18 words consistently (low burstiness)
  • Tricolon structures: "research, collaboration, and problem-solving"
  • Em dash overuse: AI uses em dashes in a formulaic way to mimic "punched up" sales writing, especially in parallelisms ("it's not X — it's Y"); swapping punctuation doesn't fix the underlying emphasis pattern
  • Perfect paragraph uniformity: All paragraphs same approximate length
  • Template conclusions: "In summary...", "In conclusion..."
  • Negative parallelisms: "It's not about X; it's about Y"
  • Elegant variation: Cycling through synonyms to avoid repetition
  • False ranges: "From X to Y" with incoherent endpoints

See reference/structural-patterns.md for details.

Content Red Flags

  • Importance puffery: "marking a pivotal moment in history"
  • Ecosystem/conservation claims without citations
  • "Challenges and Future" sections following rigid formula
  • Promotional language: "nestled in", "stunning natural beauty", "boasts"
  • Superficial analyses: "-ing" phrases attributing significance to facts

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
