A shared prose-editing skill for Claude Code and Codex. It reduces generic phrasing, inflated claims, and repetitive structure while preserving facts and the author's voice.

The guidance adapts [Wikipedia's “Signs of AI writing” essay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing) into five editing rules: be specific, use plain verbs, remove empty commentary, vary rhythm, and earn every adjective. Vocabulary and formatting patterns prompt judgment; they are not word bans or evidence of AI authorship.
