Humanizer Enhanced

Humanizer enhanced: remove AI writing patterns

Identify and remove signs of AI-generated text. This enhanced version includes crypto/Web3 patterns and adds personality to make content sound genuinely human-written.

Quick start

/humanizer # Humanize current file or selection /humanizer path/to/file.md # Humanize specific file /humanizer --scan # Scan only, don't edit (show issues) /humanizer --batch drafts/ # Process all .md files in directory

Step 1: Scan for patterns

Identify all AI patterns in the text, categorize by severity: HIGH — Obvious AI tells, must fix (negative parallelism, chatbot artifacts, em dash overuse, vague attributions, copula avoidance) MEDIUM — Common AI patterns, should fix (rule of three, significance inflation, synonym cycling) LOW — Minor tells, fix if time permits (title case headings, excessive bold)

Step 2: Report findings

• Show user a summary:
• ## Humanizer scan results
• HIGH (3 issues)
• Line 45: Negative parallelism "isn't X. It's Y"
• Line 89: Em dash overuse (5 instances)
• Line 120: "Research shows" without attribution
• MEDIUM (5 issues)
• Line 23: Rule of three pattern
• Line 67: Copula avoidance "serves as"
• ...
• LOW (2 issues)
• Line 12: Title case heading
• ...
• Total: 10 issues found
• Estimated humanization: ~15 edits needed

Step 3: Fix (with user approval)

Ask user: "Fix all issues? Or review one by one?"

Step 4: Add soul

After fixing patterns, review for personality. Sterile writing is still obvious AI. See references/communication-crypto-soul-patterns.md for the full soul/personality guide.

Step 5: Readability check

Check Flesch-Kincaid readability. Target grade 10-12 for developer content, grade 8-10 for general audience. If score is too high (too complex), simplify longest sentences and replace jargon.

Step 6: Em dash regression scan

After all other fixes, run a final check for em dashes (—) across the text. Humanizer rewrites can reintroduce em dashes. Remove any that were added during the fix process.
