humanize

humanize is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pivoshenko/pivoshenko.ai. It costs 176 tokens per session (2,255 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for making prose sound more natural and converting typographic punctuation to plain ASCII characters.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise articles, messages, documentation, and other human-facing prose; it does not apply to files written as instructions for software agents.
Why use it?
It removes common signs of machine-written text while preserving the original facts, meaning, and intended voice.

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 yesterday.

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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Humanize

Strip AI tells from text. Keep every fact, change the prose.

Ground rules

  1. Preserve information, not shape. Every claim survives. Compress dull parts, merge/split paragraphs freely. Information beats structure.
  2. Never invent facts. No new names, numbers, dates, quotes, citations. Sentence needs missing detail to work -> ask, or write the plain version without it.
  3. Match voice. Formal/casual/technical as intended. User provides own writing sample -> its habits outrank every rule below, including the dash rule.
  4. Don't sterilize. Voiceless is as obvious as slop. Essay/opinion/post -> keep opinions, asides, uneven rhythm. Technical/reference -> plain and neutral IS the human voice there.

Out of scope: agent instruction files

Files written for a model to execute, not for a person to read: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, context.md, llms.txt, .cursor/rules/*, GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md, and any other agent/system-prompt file. Terse fragments, arrows, abbreviations, and lowercase headings are the working format there - compression is the point, and recasing headings or padding fragments into sentences costs tokens and blurs directives. Skip these files entirely: no rewrite, no heading recase, no punctuation pass.

Same for the prose inside a normal file when it is addressed to a model: system prompts, skill bodies, prompt templates in code or fixtures.

Exception - the user aims the skill at one of these deliberately ("humanize my CLAUDE.md", "clean up this system prompt"). Do it, and say once that the file is agent-facing so terseness there was probably intentional. A doc that merely mentions or quotes such a file is ordinary prose; edit it normally.

House conventions

The two rules below are house style, not AI tells. They run on every pass, on every file this skill touches, whether or not the prose shows a single AI pattern - which is exactly why they need saying out loud: someone who asked for a de-slop pass and got their headings recased should have seen it coming from this section.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
