Human Writing

Modes

Edit (default) -- rewrite the draft to strip AI tells while preserving the writer's voice; produce corrected text plus a changelog.

Detect -- when asked whether text reads as AI, or to audit, scan, or flag a draft without rewriting: name each pattern that appears, quote the offending line, and give the fix in a few words. Do not rewrite, do not score, do not claim whether AI wrote it -- named patterns are evidence the reader can check; an authorship verdict is a guess. Run detection per Phase 1 of audit-workflow.md, stop there, and offer to edit afterward.

Not this skill -- text whose reader is a model rather than a person: tool descriptions, system prompts, skill and agent instructions, error strings, inter-agent messages. The human-voice rules below (contractions, varied rhythm, fragments, opinions, let-some-mess-in) make that text harder to parse, not easier. Route it to ia-refine-prompt.
