# Unslop Humanize ## When to Use Use this skill when you need humanize natural-language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences, docs) by removing AI-isms and adding burstiness while preserving every code block, URL, path, command, and heading exactly. Two modes: --deterministic (fast, regex-based, no API) and LLM (default, calls Claude for... ## Purpose Rewrite natural-language memory files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, todos, preferences, docs) so they sound human-written: no sycophancy, no stock vocab, no five-paragraph essay shape, no tricolon padding. Everything technical stays exact: code blocks, inline code, URLs, file paths, commands, headings, tables. Two modes: - **`--deterministic`** — fast regex pass that strips canonical AI-isms and tightens tricolons. No API call, no `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` needed. Best for batch processing and CI. - **LLM mode (default)** — calls Claude (via Anthropic SDK or `claude --print` CLI fallback) to do a full rewrite that engineers burstiness, restructures performative paragraphs, and matches voice. Slower but better quality. Humanized version overwrites the original. A `FILE.original.md` backup is written first. Re-run after editing the `.original

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill unslop-file --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
