From the author
De-AI-ifies and tightens academic prose without changing any technical claim. Use when a researcher says "this sounds like ChatGPT / AI-written", "humanize my paper", "remove the AI words", "too many delves and leverages", "polish my writing", "tighten the prose", "fix my hedging", "too many Moreover/Furthermore", "make my contributions active", or "keep my terminology consistent". Runs deterministic stdlib linters — prose_lint.py (leftover chatbot artifacts, LLM-tell vocabulary, connective stacking, em-dash density, double hedges, overclaiming boosters, passive contribution statements) and terminology_check.py (dataset/data set/data-set variants, acronym discipline, -ise/-ize mixing, glossary enforcement) — then drives a section-by-section edit pass using rewrite catalogs and the venue family's register norms. Numbers, results, claims, and citations are never altered; the venue's AI-use disclosure policy is surfaced and respected, never dodged.

- deslopbrycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-SkillsRemove AI writing patterns from prose. Use this skill when writing, drafting, editing, reviewing, or revising any text to eliminate predictable AI tells, slop, and formulaic patterns. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks to "deslop", "de-AI", "make it sound human," "remove AI patterns," "remove AI tropes," "clean up AI writing," fix "slop," "deslop" text, or review prose for authenticity. Also use when the user asks you to write or draft anything and wants it to sound natural rather than AI-generated. Common use cases include scientific writing (manuscripts, abstracts, cover letters, grant narratives, discussion sections, peer review responses), blog posts, newsletters, memos, reports, and any other substantial prose.Science★ 4.8K
- sloptrimseyedehsanhadi/sloptrimUse when the user wants to humanize text, trim slop, de-AI or de-slop writing, remove AI tells, fix robotic or ChatGPT-sounding prose, or make writing sound human and natural. Also run before delivering a CV, cover letter, email, report, or essay to be sent. Removes 71 documented AI-writing patterns with a local detector, preserves numbers, names and citations, and rebuilds toward a human voice rather than a flat husk. Mode-aware, so it never fabricates voice on factual content.Writing★ 405
- unslop-academic-writingKalarisLabs/research-agent-skillsRemove AI slop from research writing so papers, theses, grant proposals, reviews and rebuttals read as written by a careful human expert. Covers stock vocabulary (delve, tapestry, pivotal, underscores), empty emphasis, hedge stacks, formulaic signposting, "not only X but also Y" constructions, em-dash pileups, monotone rhythm, and claims vaguer than the data. Use when drafting or revising academic text with an AI assistant, when a draft "sounds like ChatGPT", before submission, or to match an author's own voice. Includes a zero-dependency slop linter for Markdown, LaTeX, text and Word files.Writing★ 61
- unslopOutlineDriven/outline-driven-developmentUse when prose is drafted or edited, reviewed for AI tells, or the user asks to remove AI patterns, humanize, or add voice. Offers dedash and detool modes. Not for code debris: use deslop.Writing★ 54
- academic-humanizerdongshuyan/compass-skillsDraft, audit, or minimally revise English- or Chinese-language academic prose to reduce formulaic, vacuous, mechanically repetitive, or process-leaking language while preserving claims, evidence strength, logical relations, manuscript-wide terminology identity, document-level pattern variation, and scholarly register. Use for papers, abstracts, grants, cover letters, and reviewer responses when the user asks to de-AI, humanize, audit AI-like phrasing, or rewrite text without changing meaning. English is primary; Chinese is supported. Not for detector evasion, policy circumvention, pure translation, non-academic copy, or adding facts, citations, examples, or author experiences that the source does not contain.Writing★ 762
