avoid-ai-writing

avoid-ai-writing is a portable writing skill for AI agents that audits and rewrites content to eliminate AI writing patterns ("AI-isms"). It works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any agentskills.io-compatible agent. The skill uses a structured two-pass detection system with 36 pattern categories and a 109-entry word replacement table to catch and fix AI tells with precision.

• Rewrite mode — the default mode; flags AI patterns and rewrites the text, then runs a second pass to catch patterns that survived the first edit.
• Detect mode — flags AI patterns without rewriting, grouping flags by severity (P0/P1/P2) and distinguishing real problems from judgment calls.
• 109-entry word replacement table (3 tiers) — Tier 1 words are always flagged, Tier 2 words flag when they cluster, and Tier 3 words flag only at high density, reducing false positives.
• 36 pattern categories — covers content patterns (significance inflation, promotional language), language patterns (copula avoidance, synonym cycling), structure patterns (em dash overuse, inline-header lists), communication patterns (chatbot artifacts, sycophantic tone), and meta patterns (rhythm uniformity, over-polishing).
• Two-pass detection — the second pass re-reads the rewrite and catches recycled transitions, lingering inflation, and copula swaps that snuck through the first edit.
• Claude Code installation — clone the repo into ~/.claude/skills/avoid-ai-writing or copy SKILL.md directly; optionally set up as a slash command.
• OpenClaw installation — install via clawhub install avoid-ai-writing or clone into ~/.openclaw/skills/avoid-ai-writing.
• Web app — a community-built web app at avoid-ai-writing-app.vercel.app lets users paste text and run a full audit and rewrite by burning 1,000 $avoid Solana tokens.
• Structured output — rewrite mode returns four discrete sections: issues found, rewritten version, change summary, and second-pass audit.
