What humanizer does

Run the skill on a draft to find formulaic phrasing and rewrite the affected passages. Its instructions say to preserve the main point, add a distinct voice, then review the result once more. The guide draws on Wikipedia’s page about signs of AI writing.

Install it in Claude Code with the command in the FAQ, then invoke it as /humanizer; you can pass text to edit as well. Its allowed tools include reading and editing files, searching the project, and asking questions. The skill is also listed for Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. The supplied instructions are truncated, so check the final wording yourself when tone or phrasing matters.

What it helps with

  • spot formulaic phrasing in a draft
  • rewrite passages while preserving the main point
  • add a distinct voice to generated copy
  • review edited text for remaining AI patterns

Example prompts for the agent

  • `/humanizer` Review this draft and rewrite passages that sound formulaic.
  • `/humanizer` Edit the following text without changing its main point: [paste text]
  • `/humanizer` Review your rewrite and flag phrases that still sound AI-generated.
