A portable writing skill for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw), [Hermes](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent), and any other [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io)-compatible agent. Audits and rewrites content to remove AI writing patterns ("AI-isms").
**Three modes:**
- **Rewrite** (default) — flags AI patterns and rewrites the text to fix them. A built-in second pass catches patterns that survived the first edit.
- **Detect** — flags AI patterns without rewriting. Shows which flags are real problems vs. judgment calls. Useful when patterns might be intentional, when auditing content you don't want altered, or when you just want a quick scan.
- **Edit** — edits a file in place (via the Edit tool) with minimal, targeted changes, preserving passages that are already human. Returns an edits-made + verification report, not the full file.
