human-writing_skill

Overview

This skill helps you write content that reads like a real person wrote it: clear, natural, and free of AI telltale signs. Use it to draft, edit, or review anything meant for publication or external audiences. It’s not for casual chat, quick replies, internal notes, or code comments.

How this skill works

The skill scans text for common anti-human patterns and highlights issues like inflated language, vague attributions, synonym cycling, and forced significance. It suggests concrete replacements, simpler verbs, and formatting choices (lowercase headings, limited bolding, contractions) to improve readability and credibility. Finally, it prompts a final read focusing on natural flow and factual specifics.

When to use it

• Drafting blog posts, articles, or newsletters aimed at public readers
• Editing marketing copy, landing pages, or product descriptions
• Reviewing client-facing documents, proposals, or press releases
• Polishing social media threads and long-form posts for tone and clarity
• Preparing emails to lists or external stakeholders before send

Best practices

• Prefer concrete facts and specific attributions over vague praise
• Use simple verbs and short sentences; avoid formal, pompous phrasing
• Allow word repetition; don’t force synonyms for every instance
• Avoid cheerleading statements and inflated significance claims
• Run a final read for natural rhythm after applying fixes

Example use cases

• Turn a stiff product announcement into a clear, human-focused update
• Edit a newsletter so it feels conversational without losing accuracy
• Clean up a draft article that overuses corporate buzzwords
• Prepare social posts that sound like an actual person, not a brochure
• Review a client proposal to ensure specific claims are properly attributed
