What problem does it solve? AI-generated drafts contain recognizable patterns such as em dashes, intensifiers, hollow claims, stock transitions, and fabricated attributions that make prose sound mechanical and untrustworthy. This Skill provides a concrete rule set and self-check process for producing clear, direct, evidence-based writing. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 24 writing rules: Covers banned phrases, inflated verbs, academic filler, heading anti-patterns, fabricated attributions, and synthetic enthusiasm, each with bad and better examples. - Expanded detection reference: The bundled references/ai-writing-detection.md file adds word lists, hedging thresholds, structural uniformity checks, and model-family-specific tells for deeper lint passes. - Self-check workflow: An 11-step checklist verifies numbers against sources, removes citation artifacts, and confirms headings describe their sections. - Use Case: Before publishing a technical blog post drafted with AI assistance, run the rules to replace claims like "significantly faster" with measured benchmark values and rewrite dramatic headings into descriptive ones. ## Quick Start Review this draft against the no-ai-slop rules and rewrite any sentences that violate them.
