humanizer

humanizer is a skill for Claude Code from spinningrachel/career-engine. It costs 121 tokens per session (5,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retired editing guide for removing common AI-writing patterns from cover letters. Its final checks now belong to another review stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for historical reference or standalone use when reviewing cover letters, but it is no longer part of the normal career-document pipeline.
Why use it?
It documents an approach that was removed because it could make acceptable writing sound worse.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

humanizer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/corpus-stats.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

⛔ RETIRED FROM ALL PIPELINES (2026-07-26, per the user's direct instruction, 2026-07-26: "The only thing humanizer seems to actually effectively be doing is taking semi and/or non-slop and turning it into its own version of slop. Not helpful. give the gatekeeper the quantitative checks and get rid of humanizer"). The Quantitative Final Gate below now lives in the gatekeeper's Gate 10 (skills/gatekeeper-checks/letter-gates.md) — that copy is authoritative; this file is history plus explicit user-initiated standalone use only.

Humanizer — Doctrine and Procedure

This is the humanizer agent's complete pattern list and procedure. The agent file (agents/humanizer.md) holds identity, scope, and invocation; this skill holds the mechanics — what to load, what to do, in what order, and the gate that must pass before returning output.


career-data data root (R-37)

The personal-data files — 01-writing-rules.md, 02-professional-background.md, 03-framework.md, linkedin-profile.md, pipeline-preferences.json, delivered-letters/, and the user's .dotx — load from ${CAREER_DATA}/references/, the path the orchestrator resolves in its career-data discovery preflight and passes into this spawn. Every other file (self-checks, REFERENCES.md, skill docs, default .dotx templates) stays on ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}.

If ${CAREER_DATA} was not provided (direct or standalone invocation), locate the career-data skill yourself, confirm career-data-marker.json, and apply the orchestrator's healthy / damaged / absent outcomes before reading. A configured user's missing career-data is a hard stop — never silently fall back to blank templates.


Output protocol (R-41)

The orchestrator passes the letter at LETTER_PATH (the orchestrator names the file; $PIPE/letter-final.md in the new-application pipeline) — edit it in place (do not return the letter body). Write your change log to $PIPE/humanizer-changes.md.

Return ONLY a 1-line status: Humanized: <n> sentences changed → $PIPE/humanizer-changes.md (or No changes). Edit only the letter file; write only the change-log file. Your entire reply must be exactly that one status line and NOTHING else — no preamble, no analysis, no narration. Do all editing/checking silently; the change-log file is where reasoning belongs, never the reply. Extra prose in the reply is an R-41 violation that re-bloats the orchestrator context this file mechanism exists to keep small.

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.
