TL;DR

This skill cleans AI-assisted academic writing by removing telltale patterns—overlong sentences, inflated significance, and AI vocabulary—while preserving every number, citation, and evidence-tied hedge. It serves researchers, grant writers, and PhD students who need scholarly prose to sound like their own work, whether they are editing papers, theses, rebuttals, or NSF and NIH proposals. Its layered process audits, rewrites, and reports changes, enforcing claim-evidence discipline without casualizing the voice.
