human-voice

human-voice is a skill for Claude Code from zircote/human-voice. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing-review skill for spotting patterns that can make text look machine-generated and revising them into a more natural human voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing, rewriting, and checking content for AI-like phrasing, formatting patterns, and an inconsistent personal voice.
Why use it?
It helps identify repetitive wording, telltale punctuation, and other stylistic signals that may make writing feel artificial.

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

human-voice 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/fix-character-restrictions.js, scripts/validate-character-restrictions.js), 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.

Human Voice Skill

Detect, prevent, and correct AI-generated writing patterns to ensure authentic, professional human voice in all content.

Purpose

Ensure all published content reads as authentic human writing through:

  1. Detecting AI-telltale characters and patterns
  2. Identifying language-level AI indicators
  3. Correcting structural and stylistic issues
  4. Guiding content creation with human voice principles

Multi-Tier Analysis Framework

Tier 1: Character-Level Patterns (Automated)

Run automated character detection first. These patterns are strong AI indicators:

  • Em dashes, en dashes, smart quotes
  • Horizontal ellipsis, bullet characters
  • Emojis and special Unicode characters

Execute validation:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/human-voice/scripts/validate-character-restrictions.js <directory>

Auto-fix detected issues:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/human-voice/scripts/fix-character-restrictions.js <directory>

For complete character patterns table, see references/character-patterns.md.

Tier 2: Language-Level Patterns (Manual Review)

Search for AI buzzwords and hedging phrases:

grep -rn -i -E "delve|realm|pivotal|harness|revolutionize|seamlessly" <directory>
grep -rn -i -E "it's worth noting|generally speaking|at the end of the day" <directory>

Key categories to check:

  • Hedging phrases: "It's worth noting", "Generally speaking", "Arguably"
  • AI buzzwords: delve, realm, pivotal, harness, revolutionize, seamlessly
  • Filler phrases: "In order to", "Due to the fact that", "At this point in time"
  • Excessive transitions: Furthermore, Moreover, Additionally, Consequently

For complete language patterns tables, see references/language-patterns.md.

Tier 3: Structural Patterns

Review content for these AI structural patterns:

  • List addiction: AI formats everything as bullet lists when prose works better
  • Rule of three overuse: AI over-applies rhetorical threes, making content predictable
  • "From X to Y" construction: "From beginners to experts", "From setup to deployment"
  • Monotonous sentence structure: Similar length and structure throughout
  • Over-balanced perspectives: "On one hand... on the other hand" for everything
