humanize

Humanize

Make prose sound like its author writing clearly, not like a different fashionable voice. Remove generic model habits only when the text supplies evidence for the edit. Preserve facts, calibrated uncertainty, technical terms, personality, and the register required by the format.

Keep the boundary clear

Use this skill for voice preservation and synthetic-writing patterns.

• Use landing-copy, cold-outreach, readme, or ui-copy when the primary job is creating or correcting that format's substance.
• Use remove-ai-slop for rendered interface patterns and cross-route design convergence.
• Use an article-development workflow when the argument, reporting, or structure needs major editorial work before a prose pass.

A request to “humanize,” “de-slop,” preserve voice, or detect AI-like patterns belongs here. A generic “make this better” should stay with the format-specific skill unless the evidence shows voice is the main problem.

Choose the mode

• Edit — return revised prose while preserving the author's position and factual meaning.
• Detect — identify checkable patterns and explain their effect without rewriting.
• Calibrate — derive a compact voice profile from supplied samples for a later or included edit.

Infer the mode and state it briefly. Do not claim that a detector can determine who or what wrote the text, and do not output an “AI percentage.”

Establish the writing contract

Read the full draft before changing sentences. Determine:

• audience, format, and intended reader action or belief;
• point of view, vocabulary, cadence, humor, formality, and recurring intentional habits;
• statements that carry facts, uncertainty, legal scope, attribution, or personal experience;
• passages that already sound specific and alive.

Infer the voice from a substantial mixed-quality draft. If the text is almost entirely synthetic and the user explicitly wants their personal voice, ask for one representative sample in a single concise question. If they only want clearer prose, proceed in an appropriate neutral register and say that no personal voice sample was available.
