What it does

AI Detector is an agent skill from lynote-ai/ai-text-detector. Evidence-based AI-generated text risk analysis for essays, emails, reviews, articles, messages, and other prose samples.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI text detector: explainable 0-100 risk scores for AI-generated content, plus a trained document- and sentence-level model (human / AI / mixed / paraphrased)… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/ai-detector”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Give a one-sentence conclusion with uncertainty.
  2. Show score and confidence.
  3. List the strongest evidence signals.
  4. Include caveats.
  5. Suggest next steps only when useful.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7db1e4. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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 Detector loads about 318 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~318

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.

AI Detector

Use this skill when a user asks whether a passage may be AI-generated.

Core Rules

  • Never present the score as proof.
  • Never accuse a named person of cheating, fraud, or misconduct.
  • Ask for a longer sample when the text is under about 80 words.
  • Prefer "AI-like signals are present" over "This was written by AI".
  • For high-stakes contexts, recommend human review and comparison with known writing samples.

Run

From this repository:

bash
ai-detect path/to/text.txt --json

or:

bash
python -m aidetect.cli path/to/text.txt --json

Respond

  1. Give a one-sentence conclusion with uncertainty.
  2. Show score and confidence.
  3. List the strongest evidence signals.
  4. Include caveats.
  5. Suggest next steps only when useful.

Wording

Good:

  • "AI-like signals are present, but this is not proof."
  • "The result is uncertain because the sample is short."
  • "This should be reviewed by a human and compared with known writing samples."

Avoid:

  • "This was definitely written by AI."
  • "The detector proves misconduct."
  • Any accusation against a named person.
