What it does

De AI Flavor is an agent skill from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. Remove AI artifacts from documents. Use when: cleaning AI-generated text, removing tool names, fixing boilerplate patterns. Not for: doc review (use doc-review), doc refactoring (use doc-refactor). Output: cleaned document preserving original intent.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 Development, covering Refactoring and Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: The harness layer for Claude Code — a reference implementation of harness engineering with hook-enforced dual review, state-machine gates that survive context compaction, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : cleaning AI-generated text
  • Removing tool names
  • Fixing boilerplate patterns

Example prompts

  • “/de-ai-flavor”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Edit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a4d4bc1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

    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

De AI Flavor loads about 643 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 110 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
~643

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.

When NOT to Use

  • Co-Authored-By in CHANGELOG (Git convention)
  • Documents discussing AI technology (topic itself requires it)
  • Quoting others' AI-related content
  • Variable/function names in code

Usage

bash
/de-ai-flavor docs/xxx.md           # Process specified file
/de-ai-flavor docs/                 # Process all .md in directory
/de-ai-flavor                       # Process .md in git diff
