# de-ai-ify

A skill that spots the stock phrases language models fall back on and rewrites the text in a plainer voice, keeping your facts and structure.

## What it does

Point the skill at a `.md`, `.txt` or `.docx` file and it scores how human the writing reads on a 0–10 scale, then works through 47 patterns: filler transitions, cliches, hedges, corporate vocabulary. The cleaned version lands in a new file with a `-HUMAN.md` suffix, and a change log lists what was swapped, what got shortened, and what still needs a human eye.

Three modes. `quick` runs a single pass with no score. `standard` adds the human-ness score and the change log. `deep` calibrates against a sample of the writer's own work, which is what you want for ghostwriting. `standard` is the default, and `--score-threshold` sets the bar if the standard one does not fit.

The voice changes, the facts do not. Vague references get replaced with specifics only when those specifics are already in the text. Scoring leans on readability metrics and sentence-length variance, so treat the final number as a rough signal rather than proof. `.docx` input works, but read the output before you publish it.

## When to use it
- strip model cliches and filler transitions from a draft
- score a piece for human-ness and see which phrases give it away
- match a text to a specific writer's voice from a sample
- get a change log explaining what was edited and why
- clean up a blog post before it goes public

## Example prompts
- Run `draft.md` through de-ai-ify in `standard` mode and show me the change log
- Clean the AI patterns out of `post.md`, `quick` mode
- Rewrite `article.md` to match my voice, sample is `sample.md`, `deep` mode
