About
A Claude Code skill that removes AI-generated writing patterns from text to make it sound more natural and human. Based on Wikipedia's guide for identifying AI writing, it detects and fixes 29 common patterns like promotional language, filler phrases, and overly formal tone.
What it does
Humanizer is an instruction package for writing agents. It accepts pasted prose or a document, optionally studies a personal writing sample, then rewrites while preserving source claims. A draft, audit, and second rewrite loop catches patterns left by the first pass.
Why it's ranked here
The package has a clear editorial method, broad installation options, and explicit safeguards against invented facts. Its 33-pattern checklist is unusually concrete. However, it remains a prompt executed by another agent, so the repository provides guidance and validation of packaging, not deterministic editing behavior.
What's good
Voice calibration studies sentence length, vocabulary, punctuation, recurring phrases, and transitions. A supplied sample can override generic style rules. The information-first policy permits restructuring without dropping claims, while the no-fabrication rule forbids adding unsupported facts, names, numbers, dates, quotes, or citations.
Tradeoffs
Several rules target conventions that may be intentional, including dashes, curly quotes, passive voice, title case, and common hyphenated pairs. A voice sample reduces that risk. Because the product is Markdown instructions, outcomes depend on the host agent interpreting and following them consistently.
How to use it well
Use it as a final prose-editing pass for essays, posts, technical writing, or reference material. Supply a representative sample when authorial voice matters, then inspect the rewrite for nuance. It does not research missing specifics, verify claims, or provide citations, so handle those needs separately.
Technical notes+
SKILL.md is the canonical runtime artifact, with YAML frontmatter followed by the numbered editing prompt. README.md documents installation, invocation, pattern summaries, and package history. .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/marketplace.json provide Claude Code distribution surfaces, while agents/openai.yaml supplies an agent-facing display name and default prompt. scripts/validate-package.py checks frontmatter portability, metadata agreement, all 33 pattern numbers, and a 500-line budget without external dependencies. .github/workflows/validate.yml runs that validator, checks Agent Skills discovery, and validates the Claude Code marketplace package.
