At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user says 'humanize', 'clean up writing', 'make it sound natural', or wants text to not sound AI-generated.

  • Works in 4 steps: Identify AI Patterns → Rewrite → Preserve → …
  • The user says humanize
  • SKILL.md covers Activation, Context Guard, Protocol and Inputs, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Humanize is an agent skill from cwinvestments/memstack. Use when the user says 'humanize', 'clean up writing', 'make it sound natural', or wants text to not sound AI-generated.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: Structured skill framework for Claude Code. 130 skills, persistent memory, TokenStack compression, localhost dashboard with 3-agent runner, real-time streaming, MCP tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says humanize
  • Clean up writing
  • Make it sound natural
  • Wants text to not sound AI-generated

Example prompts

  • “humanize”
  • “clean up writing”
  • “make it sound natural”
  • “/humanize”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify AI Patterns
  2. Rewrite
  3. Preserve
  4. Present

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00370ce. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Humanize loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

✍️ Humanize: Rewriting for Natural Voice...

Remove AI tells and rewrite content to sound like a human wrote it.

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

✍️ Humanize: Rewriting for natural voice...

Then execute the protocol below.

Context Guard

Protocol

Step 1: Identify AI Patterns

Scan the content for these common AI writing tells:

Words to eliminate or replace:

AI PatternReplace With
"delve", "delve into""explore", "look at", "dig into"
"leverage""use", "take advantage of"
"utilize""use"
"facilitate""help", "make easier"
"comprehensive"(often removable, or "thorough", "complete")
"robust""solid", "strong", "reliable"
"streamline""simplify", "speed up"
"moreover", "furthermore"(cut entirely or use "also", "and")
"it's important to note"(cut: just state the thing)
"in conclusion"(cut, the reader knows it's the end)
"in today's [X] landscape"(cut entirely)
"game-changer"(be specific about the benefit)
"navigate" (non-literal)"deal with", "handle", "work through"
"paradigm"(use a concrete noun instead)
"synergy""overlap", "combination", "fit"

Structural patterns to fix:

  • Excessive hedging: "It might be worth considering that perhaps..." → Just say the thing
  • Hollow transitions: "Now, let's turn our attention to..." → Cut, or use a heading
  • Overlong intros: "In the ever-evolving world of..." → Start with the point
  • Bullet-point-itis: Every section as bullets → Mix in short paragraphs
  • Triple emphasis: "truly remarkable and incredibly powerful" → Pick one adjective
  • Sycophantic openings: "Great question!" → Don't; just answer
  • Unnecessary qualifiers: "very", "really", "quite", "rather" → Usually cuttable
Show full SKILL.md (254 more words)Show less
Step 2: Rewrite

Apply these principles:

  1. Lead with the point: Don't build up to it
  2. Shorter sentences: If a sentence has a comma and an "and", consider splitting it
  3. Active voice: "The team built X" not "X was built by the team"
  4. Concrete over abstract: Specific examples beat general claims
  5. Vary rhythm: Mix short punchy sentences with longer ones. Not all the same length.
  6. Cut the filler: If removing a word doesn't change the meaning, remove it
  7. Read it aloud: If it sounds like a press release, rewrite it
Step 3: Preserve

Do NOT change:

  • Technical accuracy or meaning
  • Code examples or technical terms
  • Proper nouns, brand names, acronyms
  • Intentional formatting (headings, lists where appropriate)
  • The author's actual opinions or arguments
Step 4: Present

Show the rewritten version. If the changes are substantial, briefly note what was changed:

  • "Removed hedging and filler from intro"
  • "Replaced passive voice throughout"
  • "Cut 40%: mostly redundant transitions"

Inputs

  • Text content to humanize (from user's prompt, clipboard, or a file)
  • Optional: target audience (blog readers, clients, social media)

Outputs

  • Rewritten content with AI patterns removed
  • Brief summary of changes made

Example Usage

User: "Humanize this paragraph"

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, it's important to note that leveraging comprehensive AI solutions can facilitate robust workflow optimization. Moreover, these game-changing tools enable organizations to navigate complex challenges and streamline their operations.

✍️ Humanize: Rewriting for natural voice...

AI tools speed up your workflow. They handle the repetitive stuff so your
team can focus on work that actually matters.

Changes: Cut filler intro, replaced "leverage/facilitate/robust/streamline"
with plain language, removed empty transitions, reduced from 41 words to 22.
