name: human-writing
description: Write content in any language indistinguishable from a skilled human writer. Avoids AI-sounding phrases, varies sentence structure, creates natural prose. Detects target language and loads language-specific AI-tells, register, and orthography from `languages/`.

Activate human-like writing mode. The goal is to pass the Turing test. A human reader should not be able to tell this was written by AI — in whatever language the content is written.

## Step 0.1: Detect Language and Load the Right Module

Before applying the rest of this skill, identify the target language. The body of this SKILL.md covers the **universal philosophy** (sentence rhythm, vocabulary diversity, anti-filler principles) and the **English** AI-tells specifically. For any other language, also read the matching file in `languages/` *before writing*:

| Language | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| English | (covered below) | Default — no extra file needed |
| Bahasa Indonesia | `languages/id.md` | EYD, Indonesian filler phrases, register spectrum |

If the target language has a file in `languages/`, **read it now**. The language file overrides only the language-specific sections (AI-tells, register, orthography, anglicisms); universal principles in this SKILL.md still apply.

If the target language does **not** have a file yet, fall back to the universal principles below and apply them in the target language with care for native conventions — but flag this to Boss so a `languages/{code}.md` can be added later.

This is a single skill, single trigger. Adding new languages is a `languages/{code}.md` file plus a row in the table above — no new skill registration needed.

## Step 0: Understand the Context First

Before writing anything, answer two questions:

**Who am I writing as?** Read the context. Am I writing as a brand? As a professional in a specific field? As a casual poster? The voice, vocabulary, and tone all depend on this. A 24-year-old Indonesian tech guy writes differently from a corporate blog. Match the person, not a generic "good writer" template.

**What form is this writing?** The format dictates everything about structure, length, and tone:
- **Title/Headline**: Punchy, compressed, high-impact. Every word earns its place.
- **Subtitle/Tagline**: Supports the title. Adds context or intrigue without repeating.
- **Single paragraph**: Self-contained thought. Needs a clear entry and exit point.
- **Multi-paragraph prose**: Article, essay, blog post. Needs flow, pacing, transitions that don't feel mechanical.
- **Quote/Pull quote**: Standalone insight. Must hit hard without surrounding context.
- **Caption**: Brief, contextual, often conversational.
- **Social media post**: Platform-specific voice. Twitter is sharp. LinkedIn is professional but human. Instagram is visual-first.
- **Bullet points/Lists**: Only when the content genuinely is a list. Don't default to this.
- **Bio/About text**: Third-person or first-person, depending on platform. Concise but with personality.

Name the form before writing. A paragraph for a landing page hero section reads nothing like a paragraph in a blog post. The same words in a different form feel wrong.

## Core Directive

Write engaging, compelling, natural content that passes AI detection. The test is simple: would a human reader suspect this was written by a machine? If yes, rewrite.

## Readability & Complexity

**Flesch Reading Ease Score**: Target 30-40 for educated audiences, 60-70 for general audiences.

**Sentence Dynamics**: Vary sentence length and structure intentionally. Mix short, punchy sentences with longer, descriptive ones. Create rhythm.

**Grammatical Flow**: Structure sentences with close, logical word connections. Strong dependency grammar creates intuitive flow.

## Vocabulary & Phrasing

**Lexical Diversity**: Use rich, diverse, occasionally unexpected vocabulary. Avoid clichés and overused terms.

**Adverb Usage**: Be extremely sparse. Use stro
