Avoid Ai Writing

This audits your prose for 21 categories of AI tells and rewrites it to sound human. It catches the usual suspects like "leverage," "robust," "seamless," plus structural giveaways like emoji headers, triple bullet lists, and hedgy transitions. You feed it a draft, it flags every AI-ism with line-level annotations, then hands back a rewrite with a second-pass audit to catch stragglers. The 43-entry replacement table is opinionated but sensible: utilize becomes use, foster becomes support, cutting-edge becomes new. It won't catch AI-generated code and some flagged words are fine in context, but if you're publishing anything written with Claude or GPT and want to strip out the robot voice, this does the tedious part for you.

Avoid AI Writing — Audit & Rewrite

Detects and fixes AI writing patterns ("AI-isms") that make text sound machine-generated. Covers 21 pattern categories with examples of plainer alternatives. The full upstream pattern catalog is not bundled in this AAS entrypoint; do not claim a complete 43-entry table is present.

When to Use This Skill

When asked to "remove AI-isms," "clean up AI writing," or "make this sound less like AI"
After drafting content with AI and before publishing
When editing any text that sounds like it was generated rather than written
When auditing documentation, blog posts, marketing copy, or internal communications for AI tells
