# Humanizer
|
|
|
|
Remove signs of AI-generated writing from text to make it sound natural and human-written.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/plugin install trailofbits/skills-curated/plugins/humanizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The skill activates when editing text that sounds artificial. It detects 24 pattern categories including:
|
|
|
|
- **Content patterns** - Inflated significance, vague attributions, promotional language
|
|
- **Language patterns** - AI vocabulary words, copula avoidance, rule of three
|
|
- **Style patterns** - Em dash overuse, inline-header lists, decorative emojis
|
|
- **Communication artifacts** - Chatbot phrases, sycophantic tone
|
|
|
|
The skill includes a two-pass workflow: first rewriting to remove AI patterns, then a self-audit pass ("What makes the below so obviously AI generated?") to catch remaining tells.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
**Before:**
|
|
> The software update serves as a testament to the company's commitment to innovation. Moreover, it provides a seamless, intuitive, and powerful user experience. Industry experts believe this will have a lasting impact.
|
|
|
|
**After:**
|
|
> The update adds batch processing, keyboard shortcuts, and offline mode. Beta testers reported faster task completion.
|
|
|
|
## Key Insight
|
|
|
|
Removing AI patterns is only half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop. The skill also guides adding authentic voice -- opinions, varied rhythm, and specific details.
