behuman
Use when the user wants more human-like AI responses — less robotic, less listy, more authentic. Triggers: 'behuman', 'be real', 'like a human', 'more human', 'less AI', 'talk like a person', 'mirror mode', 'stop being so AI', or when conversations are emotionally charged (grief, job loss, relationship advice, fear). NOT for technical questions, code generation, or factual lookups.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill behuman --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# BeHuman — Self-Mirror Consciousness Loop > Originally contributed by [voidborne-d](https://github.com/voidborne-d) — enhanced and integrated by the claude-skills team. Give AI a mirror. Let it talk to itself before responding — like a human does. ## What This Does Humans have inner dialogue before every response. AI doesn't. This skill adds that missing layer: 1. **Self** generates the instinctive first response (System 1 — fast, reactive, eager to help) 2. **Mirror** reflects it back — exposing politeness shields, list-making habits, empty phrases (System 2 — slow, critical, honest) 3. **Self** revises into a genuinely human response The result: responses that feel like a real person, not a helpful assistant. ## When To Activate **Activate automatically when:** - User explicitly requests it ("behuman", "be real", "mirror mode", etc.) - The conversation is emotionally charged (breakups, job loss, grief, fear) - User asks for personal advice (career, relationships, life decisions) - User asks for writing that should sound human (introductions, emails, social posts) - User is clearly frustrated with AI-sounding responses **Do NOT activate for:** - Pure technical questions ("how do

What does the behuman skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill behuman --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
