Humanizer Pro

Transform AI-generated text into authentic human writing by removing robotic patterns and injecting natural personality.

What This Skill Does

Core Capabilities:

• Detects 24 AI writing patterns (significance inflation, promotional language, filler phrases, etc.)
• Identifies 500+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 severity tiers
• Analyzes statistical signals (burstiness, type-token ratio, sentence uniformity)
• Removes chatbot artifacts and sycophantic tone
• NEW: Injects personality through parenthetical asides, strategic typos, tangents, and random thoughts

Based on: Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing", Copyleaks research, and real-world pattern analysis.

Quick Start

Basic Humanization

When asked to humanize text:

1. Scan for patterns → Check all 24 patterns in references/patterns.md
2. Check vocabulary → Flag Tier 1/2/3 terms from references/vocabulary.md
3. Analyze statistics → Compute burstiness, TTR, sentence variance
4. Rewrite → Remove AI-isms, add personality
5. Verify → Read aloud, check if it sounds natural

Adding Personality

Use the new personality injection features from references/personality-injection.md:

• Parenthetical asides → (honestly, this part gets me every time)
• Strategic misspellings → Natural typos that don't hurt credibility
• Tangents → "wait, that reminds me..." moments
• Random thoughts → Going off script with authentic reactions

When to Use Each Component

Always Check (Core Patterns)

• Tier 1 vocabulary → DEAD GIVEAWAYS, ban completely (delve, tapestry, vibrant, seamless, etc.)
• Filler phrases → "in order to" → "to", "due to the fact that" → "because"
• Chatbot artifacts → "Great question!", "I hope this helps!", "Let me know if..."
• Generic conclusions → "The future looks bright", "Exciting times lie ahead"

Check When Relevant

• Promotional language → If writing about places, products, services
• Significance inflation → If discussing history, events, milestones
• Vague attributions → If making claims without sources
• Em dash overuse → If text has many — dashes — everywhere

Advanced Analysis

For comprehensive humanization or when scoring text:

1. Read references/patterns.md → All 24 patterns with examples
2. Read references/vocabulary.md → Complete AI term database
3. Read references/statistical-signals.md → Burstiness, TTR, readability formulas
4. Read references/personality-injection.md → How to add human touches

Core Principles

Write Like a Human, Not a Press Release

• Use "is" and "has" freely — "serves as" is pretentious
• One qualifier per claim — don't stack hedges
• Name your sources or drop the claim
• End with something specific, not vague optimism

Add Actual Personality

• Have opinions → React to facts, don't just report them
• Vary rhythm → Short. Then longer ones that meander a bit.
• Acknowledge complexity → "I genuinely don't know how to feel about this"
• Let mess in → Perfect structure feels algorithmic
• Use contractions → "don't", "won't", "it's" (natural speech)
• Sentence fragments → When it makes sense. Like this.

Cut the Fat

Remove these automatically:

• "In order to" → "to"
• "Due to the fact that" → "because"
• "At this point in time" → "now"
• "It is important to note that" → (just say it)
• "In the event that" → "if"

The 24 Patterns (Quick Reference)

For full details with examples, see references/patterns.md.

Vocabulary Tiers

Tier 1 (Dead Giveaways - NEVER USE)

delve, tapestry, vibrant, crucial, comprehensive, meticulous, embark, robust, seamless, groundbreaking, leverage, synergy, transformative, paramount, multifaceted, myriad, cornerstone, reimagine, empower, catalyst, invaluable, bustling, nestled, realm

Tier 2 (Suspicious - Use Sparingly)

furthermore, moreover, paradigm, holistic, utilize, facilitate, nuanced, illuminate, encompasses, catalyze, proactive, ubiquitous, quintessential

Tier 3 (Context-Dependent - Watch Density)

landscape (abstract), journey (metaphorical), ecosystem, framework, roadmap, touchpoint, pain point, streamline, optimize, scalable

See references/vocabulary.md for the complete 500+ term database.

Statistical Signals

Check these when doing comprehensive analysis:

See references/statistical-signals.md for formulas and implementation.

Personality Injection (NEW)

When asked to add human touches or make text sound less perfect:

1. Parenthetical Asides

Add authentic reactions in parentheses:

• (honestly, this part gets me every time)
• (which, let's be real, is kind of absurd)
• (I still don't fully understand why)

Rule: Use for genuine reactions, not filler. 1-3 per 500 words max.

2. Strategic Misspellings

Natural typos that don't hurt credibility:

• Acceptable: "teh" → "the", "recieve" → "receive", "definately" → "definitely"
• Avoid: Professional contexts, names, technical terms, key claims

Rule: 1-2 per 1000 words in casual contexts only.

3. Tangents and Going Off Script

Let thoughts wander naturally:

• "Speaking of which..."
• "That reminds me..."
• "Okay, slight tangent..."
• "Wait, this connects to..."

Rule: Allow 1-2 per longer piece (1000+ words).

4. Random Thoughts

Inject authentic human processing:

• "Honestly didn't think this would work but..."
• "I keep coming back to..."
• "There's something unsettling about..."
• "I genuinely don't know how to feel about this"

Rule: Use when genuine uncertainty or strong reaction fits.

See references/personality-injection.md for comprehensive examples and context guidance.

Process

1. Read the input text carefully
2. Identify all pattern instances (use the 24-pattern checklist)
3. Flag vocabulary issues (Tier 1 = remove, Tier 2 = reduce, Tier 3 = watch density)
4. Check statistics (if comprehensive analysis requested)
5. Rewrite problematic sections
6. Add personality (if requested or if text is sterile)
7. Verify naturally (read aloud, check rhythm)
8. Present humanized version with brief change summary

Example Transformation

Before (AI-sounding)

Great question! Here is an overview of sustainable energy. Sustainable energy serves as an enduring testament to humanity's commitment to environmental stewardship, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of global energy policy. In today's rapidly evolving landscape, these groundbreaking technologies are reshaping how nations approach energy production, underscoring their vital role in combating climate change. The future looks bright. I hope this helps!

After (Humanized)

Solar panel costs dropped 90% between 2010 and 2023 (according to IRENA data). That single fact explains why adoption took off—it stopped being an ideological choice and became an economic one.

Germany gets 46% of its electricity from renewables now. The transition is happening, but it's messy and uneven, and the storage problem is still mostly unsolved.

Changes Made

• Removed "Great question!" and "I hope this helps!" (chatbot artifacts)
• Removed "serves as an enduring testament" (significance inflation)
• Removed "marking a pivotal moment" (AI vocabulary)
• Removed "rapidly evolving landscape" (AI vocabulary)
• Removed "groundbreaking", "underscoring", "vital" (AI vocabulary)
• Removed "The future looks bright" (generic conclusion)
• Added specific data points and sources
• Added personal observation (parenthetical)
• Added acknowledgment of complexity
• Varied sentence rhythm

Using the CLI Tool

The scripts/humanize.js tool provides command-line access:

# Score text (0-100, higher = more AI-like)
node scripts/humanize.js score "Your text here"

# Full analysis report
node scripts/humanize.js analyze -f draft.md

# Humanization suggestions
node scripts/humanize.js suggest article.txt

# Auto-fix common patterns
node scripts/humanize.js fix --autofix -f article.txt

Always-On Mode

To make this skill's rules your default writing style (not just when explicitly asked to humanize):

1. Ban Tier 1 vocabulary completely from all writing
2. Kill filler phrases automatically
3. No sycophancy, chatbot artifacts, or generic conclusions
4. Vary sentence length, have opinions, use concrete specifics
5. If you wouldn't say it in conversation, don't write it

These rules can be added to SOUL.md or agent personality config for permanent application.

Tips for Effective Humanization

• Start with Tier 1 vocabulary → Easiest wins, most obvious AI tells
• Check for em dashes → Quick scan for — overuse
• Read the last paragraph → Generic conclusions are common
• Listen to rhythm → Read aloud, hear if it sounds robotic
• Don't over-polish → Some imperfection is human
• Match the context → Formal documents need different treatment than social posts
• Preserve meaning → Remove patterns without changing core message

Troubleshooting

Text still sounds robotic after fixing patterns? → You removed AI tells but didn't add personality. Review references/personality-injection.md.

Humanization made text too casual? → Personality injection should match context. Use fewer asides/typos in formal writing.

Text is TOO perfect now? → Add strategic imperfection: vary sentence length, include a tangent, acknowledge uncertainty.

Not sure if a word is AI vocabulary? → Check references/vocabulary.md. When in doubt, ask "Would I say this in conversation?"
