humanizer · zed-industries — Claude Code skill: editing text and installation
This skill asks an agent to spot common AI-writing patterns and rewrite them without changing the core meaning. Use it after drafting.
npx skills add zed-industries/zed --skill humanizer -a claude-codeWhat 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
