Writing Anti-AI

Remove AI-generated writing patterns from text to make it sound natural and human-written. Supports both English and Chinese.

When editing academic prose, check the active installed skills/ml-paper-writing/references/knowledge/paper-miner-writing-memory.md under the current client's skill home for relevant source-attributed writing examples. Use it only to guide natural structure and rhythm. Keep the author's meaning, evidence, and target venue constraints intact. If the memory is absent or irrelevant, continue with this skill's own pattern references.

Overview

This skill identifies and eliminates predictable AI writing patterns from prose, based on Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Core insight: LLMs use statistical algorithms to predict what should come next. The result tends toward the most statistically likely outcome that applies to the widest variety of cases—creating detectable patterns.

Core Rules (快速检查清单)

1. Cut Filler Phrases

Remove throat-clearing openers and emphasis crutches.

English examples:

• "In order to achieve this goal" → "To achieve this"
• "Due to the fact that" → "Because"
• "It is important to note that" → (delete)

中文示例:

• "为了实现这一目标" → "为了实现这一点"
• "值得注意的是" → (删除)
• "基于……的事实" → "因为"

2. Break Formulaic Structures

Avoid binary contrasts, dramatic fragmentation, rhetorical setups.

Patterns to avoid:

• Negative parallelisms: "It's not just X, it's Y"
• Rule of three: "A, B, and C" (prefer two or four items)
• Em-dash reveals: "X—Y" (just use commas)
