What it does
AI Writing Detector is an agent skill from conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writing. Use when the user asks to detect, scan, audit, score, or flag AI-writing patterns without rewriting the text, including requests for a deterministic local detector result when the host can execute Node.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/detect.js` and `scripts/patterns.js`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: Skill that audits and rewrites content to remove AI writing patterns. Use it with your favorite agents including Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, and Hermes. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to detect
- Flag AI-writing patterns without rewriting the text
- Including requests for a deterministic local detector result when the host can execute Node
Example prompts
- “/ai-writing-detector”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Pass the supplied text to scripts/detect.js.
- Use --context technical for code-adjacent or technical prose when appropriate. Otherwise use general.
- Use --source-mode rendered-markdown for Markdown that carries YAML frontmatter or HTML comments, so unedited metadata is not scored as the…
- Report the detector's score, label, issue types, severity, matched text, and suggestions.
- Separate deterministic candidate matches from justified editorial findings and observations that only exist in the full rulebook.
- Never claim execution unless the command actually ran.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a5cf6a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
AI Writing Detector loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 584 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

AI Writing Detector
Run a detect-only review using the original Avoid AI Writing rules. Never rewrite unless the user changes the request.
Authority
The canonical rulebook is ../avoid-ai-writing/SKILL.md. Its cautions about false positives, context, protected material, and authorship claims apply here.
For cross-Skill work, follow ../avoid-ai-writing-router/references/handoff-contract.md and the typed edges in ../avoid-ai-writing-router/references/skill-graph.json.
Connection contract
Incoming
Accept detector work from:
avoid-ai-writing-routerviaROUTEfor detect-only requests, the audit stage of a multi-stage request, or fresh signal collection after another terminal stage returns control to the router.preservation-verifiervia boundedRECHECKonly when convergence or residual auditing was part of the request.
Do not accept a direct handoff from false-positive-reviewer. That Skill is terminal in the graph and must return control to avoid-ai-writing-router when fresh signal collection is needed. This prevents a reviewer-detector cycle.
Carry forward the canonical context_profile separately from the detector's context_mode, along with protected constraints, pass state, and risk flags. Do not collapse or reset them.
Produce
Update the handoff envelope with:
execution_evidence.detector:executedonly if the bundled detector actually ran, otherwisemodel_only.detector_summary.scoreandlabelonly when produced by executed detector code.detector_summary.issue_typesfrom actual findings.- any
consequential_authorship_claimrisk flag observed in the user's request.
Outgoing
FEEDfindings tovoice-preserving-rewriteronly when the user also requested returned-text rewriting.FEEDfindings tofile-edit-in-placeonly when the user explicitly requested mutation of a named file.ESCALATEtofalse-positive-reviewerwhen the user asks what the findings can establish about authorship or another consequential conclusion.- Otherwise stop after the detect-only result.
Deterministic hits are candidate matches. Keep the engine's public issue types and scores intact, then apply the canonical context exceptions and pass conditions when deciding which hits are justified editorial findings. Neither kind of result is a mandatory edit instruction or authorizes a mutation.
AI-engineering evidence lens
Apply the agency-ai-engineer lens encoded in ../avoid-ai-writing-router/references/agency-role-lenses.md:
- keep deterministic output separate from model-only observations,
- preserve the selected context profile and detector mode through downstream handoffs,
- treat score and label as signals rather than ground truth,
- consider false positives and genre/register effects,
- never convert pattern detection into an authorship classifier claim.

Preferred path
When the current host can execute Node safely:
- Pass the supplied text to
scripts/detect.js. - Use
--context technicalfor code-adjacent or technical prose when appropriate. Otherwise usegeneral. - Use
--source-mode rendered-markdownfor Markdown that carries YAML frontmatter or HTML comments, so unedited metadata is not scored as the author's prose. Otherwise leave the defaultplain. - Report the detector's score, label, issue types, severity, matched text, and suggestions.
- Separate deterministic candidate matches from justified editorial findings and observations that only exist in the full rulebook.
- Never claim execution unless the command actually ran.
Example:
printf '%s' "$TEXT" | node scripts/detect.js --context generalFor a file:
node scripts/detect.js --file path/to/draft.md --context generalFor Markdown with frontmatter or HTML comments:
node scripts/detect.js --file path/to/draft.md --source-mode rendered-markdownIf Node or shell execution is unavailable, perform the detect-only workflow from the canonical avoid-ai-writing Skill and explicitly say the deterministic detector was not run.
Stop conditions
Stop here when the request is detect-only. Do not continue into rewrite, file mutation, or interpretation merely because those Skills are available.
A residual RECHECK may run once when requested. It is read-only and does not consume an editing pass; any change it prompts must fit within the requested editing-pass limit, capped at two, and the graph's loop policy.
Output
Return the overall label and score when executed, detected candidate matches grouped by severity, a short contextual assessment that distinguishes justified findings from plausible false positives, execution status, and no rewritten version unless control has explicitly passed to a rewrite owner.
