Prose-quality cleanup for text real users read: READMEs and docs, blog posts, marketing pages, templates, locale strings, UI text, and copy that code generates, in any language or file type (md, html, Blade/ERB/Liquid, json/yaml/po, jsx/vue/svelte, Go/Rust/PHP/Python/Node generators), keeping the author's voice. Markdown gets deterministic punctuation fixes; every type gets a slop scan, surgical edits, and a re-scan. Use when asked to "humanize" or "remove AI slop" from user-facing text. Do not…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'humanize' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'humanize' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named humanize already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/ariadoss/superskills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c7ec8d78e5dc37484c2cfe90ab04de163d97dd41' -- 'skills/humanize' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/humanize' ~/.agents/skills/'humanize' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'humanize' ~/.claude/skills/'humanize' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
