humanize

humanize is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from petar-djukic/writing-skills. It costs 192 tokens per session (9,737 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A three-stage process for revising AI-written prose so it reads less mechanically and is less likely to be identified as AI-generated by Pangram, an AI-detection service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reworking article structure, cleaning up formulaic language, and adjusting paragraph voice through successive editing stages.
Why use it?
It addresses repeated wording patterns, rigid structure, and other signals that can remain after ordinary editing.

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

humanize 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 757 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Humanize (the laundering chain)

One generative pass over a draft: semantic cleanup, a seeded diction rewrite, word recovery, optional accent, then the deterministic terminal stage. The chain is a pure function — structurally diverged draft in, laundered draft plus a measurement report out. It runs once per invocation. Structure, review, author edits, and the decision to run the chain again belong to the caller (GH-208): a workflow command invokes match-outline before this chain when the form needs changing, runs the read-only instruments after it, and reads this chain's seed-reach report to decide whether another cycle would pay.

The verified effect on a fresh AI draft (2026-07-29, working gate) is 100% AI -> Mixed: 23.8% AI / 76.2% AI-assisted, mean window 0.993 -> 0.576. On well-edited prose the gain is real but small — see the calibration data at the end.

The chain

stage what it does what happens without it
filter-tells semantic cleanup collapse antithesis pairs, remove CoT leakage, cut recap ballast, fix banned words Pangram score stays at 100% AI even after match-voice, because the rhetorical patterns survive diction changes
seeded match-voice one anchored Cohere seed pass, then iterate --no-anchors only while the score falls (GH-194) unseeded, the rewriter substitutes its own diction instead of stripping the old fingerprint: measured 0.609 gated, against 0.370 seeded, on the same article
burstiness (optional) raises sentence-length variance through the rewrite transport, behind the same gate CV stays put; on a plain stylometric model dispersion is one of the two discriminative features
tighten-style gives back the words the rewrite costs, through the second model family, without giving back the score the draft reads leisurely (2,378 -> 2,502 words on the worktrees run)
accent-dial (optional) dials a gated, ranked fraction of EN->SR->EN round-trip edits into structurally clean text the strongest single Pangram move recorded on strategy-theatre (0.708 -> 0.150) is left on the table
inject-vernacular (terminal) deterministic idiolect operators restore the author's markers; nothing samples the author's signature constructions stay at machine rates

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.
