Rewrite AI-generated text to sound natural and human-written.

  • Any text that reads like it was written by AI
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Routing, Trigger Examples and Parameters, plus 1 more section
  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

What it does

Humanizer is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Rewrite AI-generated text to sound natural and human-written. Removes LLM tells — cliché phrases, predictable structure, inflated language, and robotic patterns. Use when editing drafts, emails, articles, or any text that reads like it was written by AI.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Any text that reads like it was written by AI
  • Tasks that involve Humanizing AI text

Example prompts

  • “/humanizer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a77d646. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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

Humanizer loads about 557 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 240 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~557
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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.

Humanizer

Purpose

Rewrite AI-generated text to sound natural and human-written. Removes LLM tells — cliché phrases, predictable structure, inflated language, and robotic patterns. Use when editing drafts, emails, articles, or any text that reads like it was written by AI.

Routing

  • Use when: User asks to humanize text, make text sound less like AI, rewrite AI-generated content, remove AI tells, make writing more natural, or edit text to sound human-written
  • Do not use when: User wants to generate new content from scratch, translate text, or summarize text
  • Outputs: Rewritten text that reads naturally without AI writing markers
  • Success criteria: The output text would not be flagged by AI detection tools and reads like natural human writing

Trigger Examples

Positive
  • Use the humanizer skill for this request.
  • Help me with humanizer.
  • User asks to humanize text, make text sound less like AI, rewrite AI-generated content, remove AI tells, make writing more natural, or edit text to sound human-written
  • Humanizer: provide an actionable result.
Negative
  • User wants to generate new content from scratch, translate text, or summarize text
  • Do not use humanizer for unrelated requests.
  • This request is outside humanizer scope.
  • This is conceptual discussion only; no tool workflow is needed.
