What it does

Audit AI Writing is an agent skill from jxnl/personal-monorepo-template. Audit pasted chatbot output, AI-cleanup diffs, wiki drafts, Markdown/MDX/docs, and source-backed articles for generic AI fluff, LLM writing tells, weak audience model, lack of theory of mind, inflated significance, vague attribution, leaked tokens, placeholders, broken markup, fabricated or mismatched citations, and detector false positives. Use for requests like "AI writing audit", "check for AI slop", "find writing fluff", "does this sound like ChatGPT", "cleanup LLM tells", "make this less generic", "verify…

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `patterns.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Humanizing AI text, Citation management and Markdown. It works with OpenAI.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests like AI writing audit
  • Check for AI slop
  • Find writing fluff
  • Does this sound like ChatGPT

Example prompts

  • “AI writing audit”
  • “check for AI slop”
  • “find writing fluff”
  • “/audit-ai-writing”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Audience-model failures: prose that ignores what the reader knows, needs, doubts, or will do next; generic empathy; no real prioritization.
  2. Fluff and LLM tells: inflated significance, vague stakes, template transitions, rhetorical balance, generic intros/outros, abstract…
  3. Claim quality: vague attribution, unsupported superlatives, stale timing, softened quantifiers, causal overreach.
  4. Mechanical residue: leaked tool tokens, placeholders, broken markup, invalid references, wrong target-format syntax.
  5. Citation support when relevant: real source, correct metadata, quote/page/number/date/name support, source-chaining mistakes.
  6. Rewrite plan: smallest concrete fix, reader-specific framing, concrete verbs/nouns, target-format markup, and any verification still needed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df86376. 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

Audit AI Writing loads about 887 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 182 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~182
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~887

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 359 words (~887 tokens).

“Open patterns.md, then review prose quality before citation mechanics unless the user specifically asks for citation verification:”
