A reference guide for spotting patterns that may indicate text was generated by an AI system, including word choices, sentence structure, and ways to avoid false positives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze text for possible AI authorship and to understand common detection signals and their limitations.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers assess AI authorship without relying on a single suspicious phrase or treating human writing as AI-written.

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 11d 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 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.
