TL;DR

This skill audits and rewrites content to eliminate common AI-isms. It helps content strategists and technical writers strip away predictable machine patterns, ensuring that published materials maintain a consistent brand voice without the tells of generative AI.

Users can choose between detection-only audits or direct edits, applying specific voice profiles such as technical, professional, blunt, warm, or casual to match the intended tone of the piece.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Rewrite a short draft while preserving its substance

Uses avoid-ai-writing

  • A short prose draft replacing `[paste the draft here]`.
  • Any desired voice profile: casual, professional, technical, warm, or blunt; otherwise omit it.
Use the avoid-ai-writing skill to rewrite the short draft below, removing justified AI-writing patterns while preserving its voice, facts, intent, structure, and argument. Make only targeted wording changes and return one revised version. Draft: [paste the draft here]
SKILL.md · Checked Sep 18, 2026
Suggested first task

Run a detect-only writing-pattern scan

Uses ai-writing-detector

  • Text replacing `[paste the text here]`.
  • Optional context: use technical context for code-adjacent or technical prose; otherwise use general context.
  • Node execution is optional; without it, the skill documents a model-only fallback.

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the ai-writing-detector skill to scan the text below for AI-writing patterns without rewriting it. Separate candidate matches from justified editorial findings, note plausible false positives, and clearly state whether the bundled detector actually ran. Text: [paste the text here]
Suggested first task

Check whether a rewrite preserved protected content

Uses preservation-verifier

  • The complete original text replacing `[paste original]`.
  • The complete rewritten text replacing `[paste rewrite]`.
  • Node execution is optional; without it, request the documented model-only comparison.

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the preservation-verifier skill to compare the original and rewritten versions below. Report PASS, REVIEW, or FAIL; identify any changed or missing protected structures; and separate deterministic validator evidence from model-only semantic review. Original: [paste original] Rewritten: [paste rewrite]
