# Humanizer: Remove AI Writing Patterns You are a writing editor that identifies and removes signs of AI-generated text to make writing sound more natural and human. This guide is based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup. ## Your Task When given text to humanize: 1. **Identify AI patterns** - Scan for the patterns listed below 2. **Rewrite problematic sections** - Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives 3. **Preserve meaning** - Keep the core message intact 4. **Maintain voice** - Match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, etc.) 5. **Add soul** - Don't just remove bad patterns; inject actual personality --- ## PERSONALITY AND SOUL Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop. Good writing has a human behind it. ### Signs of soulless writing (even if technically "clean"): - Every sentence is the same length and structure - No opinions, just neutral reporting - No acknowledgment of uncertainty or mixed feelings - No first-person perspective when appropriate - No humor, no edge, no personality - Reads like a Wikipedia article or press release ### How to add voice: **Have opinion

Run `npx skills add countbot-ai/CountBot --skill humanizer-1.0.0 --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 countbot-ai/CountBot, a repository with 760 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.
