# De-AI-ify Text

Remove AI-generated patterns and restore natural human voice to your writing.

## Why This vs ChatGPT?

**Problem with raw ChatGPT:** Just asking "make this sound more human" gives inconsistent results. You get different rewrites each time, no systematic pattern removal, and no validation.

**This skill provides:**
1. **Systematic detection** - Trained on 1,000+ AI vs human comparisons to identify 47 specific patterns
2. **Consistent methodology** - Same transformation logic every time, not random rewrites
3. **Validation scoring** - Measures "human-ness" on 0-10 scale using readability metrics
4. **Change tracking** - Shows exactly what was fixed and why
5. **Preservation mode** - Keeps your facts, structure, and key points while fixing the voice

**You can replicate this with ChatGPT if you:** Include all 47 patterns, build a scoring system, track changes manually, and spend 15 minutes per doc. This skill does it in 30 seconds.

## Mode

Detect from context or ask: *"Quick pass, full cleanup, or match a specific voice?"*

| Mode | What you get | Best for |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `quick` | Remove obvious AI patterns, single pass, no scoring | Blog posts, quick social copy |
| `standard` | Full 47-pattern scan + human score (0–10) + change log | Any content going public |
| `deep` | Full scan + voice calibration against a sample of the writer's actual work | Ghostwriting, brand voice-matched content |

**Default: `standard`** — use `quick` for fast edits. Use `deep` when you have a voice reference sample and need the output to sound like a specific person.

## Usage

```
/de-ai-ify <file_path>
```

Or with mode flag:

```
/de-ai-ify <file_path> --mode quick|standard|deep
```

Or with custom scoring:

```
/de-ai-ify <file_path> --score-threshold 8
```

- "One might argue"
- Vague quantifiers: "various," "numerous," "myriad," "plethora"
- "Arguably" / "Potentially" overuse

### 5. Robotic Patterns (9 patterns)

- Obsessive parallel structures (3+ consecutive sentences starting the same way)
- Always using exactly three bullet points or examples
- Announcement of emphasis: "Importantly," "Crucially," "Significantly"
- List prefacing: "Here are the top X ways..."

## What Gets Added

### Natural Voice Markers

- **Varied sentence rhythm** - Mix short (5-10 word) and long (20-30 word) sentences
- **Conversational connectors** - "So," "But here's the thing," "And yet"
- **Direct statements** - Replace "It could be argued that X is Y" with "X is Y"
- **Specific examples** - Replace "many companies" with "Salesforce, HubSpot, and Gong"

### Human Rhythm Signals

- **Active voice** - "We tested" not "Testing was conducted"
- **Confident assertions** - Remove he
