Audit and rewrite prose so it stops reading as machine-generated. Use this skill when asked to remove AI-isms, clean up AI writing, edit a draft for AI tells, audit a README, changelog, release note, PR description, or blog post for machine-sounding prose, or make text sound less like AI. Supports a detect-only mode, a rewrite mode, and an edit-in-place mode, with optional voice and context profiles.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'avoid-ai-writing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'avoid-ai-writing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named avoid-ai-writing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/wshobson/agents' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9c61ab243def98f72da12abd41cfcf5bcd91af9d' -- 'plugins/avoid-ai-writing/skills/avoid-ai-writing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/avoid-ai-writing/skills/avoid-ai-writing' ~/.agents/skills/'avoid-ai-writing' && 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/'avoid-ai-writing' ~/.claude/skills/'avoid-ai-writing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
