humanizer

humanizer is a skill for Claude Code from yuri-semenenko/ai-engineering-workspace. It costs 162 tokens per session (2,110 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for removing patterns that make text look AI-generated while keeping its meaning, facts, and intended tone.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to humanize drafts, make wording more natural, and revise text that appears machine-written without inventing details.
Why use it?
It helps when writing sounds robotic, overly polished, vague, or formulaic. It also limits changes to cases where the user explicitly asks for this kind of rewrite.

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 6d 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Humanizer

Rewrite a piece of text so it reads like a competent person wrote it on purpose. Preserve the meaning, the facts, and the intended register. Remove everything that signals "a language model produced this".

Process

  1. Read the whole input once before touching anything.
  2. Flag every instance of the patterns in the catalog below.
  3. Rewrite flagged passages. Prefer deleting a bad sentence over decorating it.
  4. Produce a draft, then run the self-audit (see below) and revise.
  5. Return the final text per the output format.

Two principles govern every rewrite:

  • Specificity beats polish. A concrete fact ("deploys dropped from 40 to 12 minutes") always outperforms an abstract claim ("significantly improved deployment efficiency"). If the input has no concrete facts, keep the claim modest instead of inventing details.
  • Clean is not enough. Text with zero AI patterns can still read as lifeless. Vary sentence length, allow an opinion where the register permits one, and let the author's judgment show. Uniform, neutral, perfectly balanced prose is itself a tell.

Voice matching

When the user supplies a sample of their own writing, imitate it: typical sentence length, how paragraphs open, punctuation habits, how formal the vocabulary runs, whether they use first person. Replace AI patterns with that author's patterns, not with a generic "good writing" default. Without a sample, default to plain, direct, lightly opinionated prose.

Pattern catalog

Family 1 — Inflation

1.1 Manufactured significance. Claims that something "marks a pivotal moment", "underscores the importance of", "is a testament to", or "reflects broader trends". Strip the ceremony; state what the thing is or does.

Before: "The migration to the new build system represents a pivotal step in the team's journey toward engineering excellence." After: "We migrated to the new build system in March. CI time dropped by half."

1.2 Promotional register. "Seamless", "robust", "cutting-edge", "powerful", "best-in-class" — adjectives that sell instead of describe. In technical writing, every one of them should be replaced by the property it is hiding.

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.
